Epic Unboxing: Stray Kids' "In Life" and "Oddinary" Albums Revealed!

[@booshkabooshka1642]

"i guess i'll have to buy other albums to see if i can get the laptop boy" welp, im afraid you've officially reached the depths of this rabbit hole where is to late to go back. welcome, you're one of us, officially 🤝

[@linos4thcat745]

From "who buys cds any more" to "I guess I'll have to buy some of the other albums" - it's a dangerous ride you're on 😂

[@nephnonm950]

I, too, had forgotten physical albums existed until I got my SKZs ablums

[@dianaquispe2729]

Me too. I don't have a cd player neither

[@itszyyy]

Skz lightsticks automatically syncs in the venue when the concert is about to start 😊

[@rockstarstay]

THAT MINI POSTER OF HAN FROM ODDINARY!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!

[@iamprobablybeingkidnapped]

I KNOW Tony has to watch his back because I'm desperate for a mini poster of Han 😭😭🙏

[@colehater]

I have to rob him now unfortunately

[@hazelventura]

Oh you've come so far 😄

[@shorkelili]

I was actually shocked seeing how little there was in the IN LIFE album, especially compared to ODDINARY. But then I think it's endearing too, because you can immediately see just how much they've grown and were able to earn more money for the production quality of their albums.

[@esmygarza3229]

Tony, I think you should get a commission from Bose! I recently purchased a headset from them. I am too frugal to buy anything expensive for myself but tbh, I have enjoyed how you point out all the different sounds, that previously I didn't even hear before you pointed them out, in your reactions ! I purchased the "comfort" headphones and I LOVE it! Thanks for the recommendation. Catch you on your next reaction 😊

[@tonystocco]

Those are fantastic headphones. Glad you enjoy them!

[@mariama6108]

Just a heads up if you don’t already know!! The new album consists of the title track walking on water , the song bounce back, the song U (featuring Tablo) , another version of walking on water, and then there are 8 solo songs each made by each member , each solo song has the unique color and style of each member 🤍

[@Niki._.00000]

If you preorder they offer more items as a pre order benefit and some stores carry extra ‘gifts’ / photocards which are exclusive cards with different pictures like there’s usually an Apple Music photo cards sets but it depends on what local stores carry. I buy from a store called evepink and they carry a bunch of merch and ship internationally. There are also US exclusives in some albums like I think target usually carries the us exclusives and there are exclusives photocards in target, Walmart, Barnes and noble and Amazon

[@STAY.IKNOWYOUKNOWWEKNOW...]

Curious if you know their names yet? This is where you might relent and get sucked into doing the 2 hour Stray Kids Guide! Lol. I think you're starting to need to get to know the names and how talented each guy is now. I mean...you have a Chan bias...but once you get to know how talented Han is...then your first "bias wrecking" might be coming! He's the "Ace" of kpop as he can produce, write (amazing) lyrics, rap, freestyle rap, sing and dance. I know we all sound biased, but just like listening to their music opened your eyes to their actual musical ability, if you take the time to discover their talents, you will discover that we are not all deluded and biased...just wiser about how very talented they are. Lol Also, getting to know them individually will help you analyse the solo songs in the new album when it comes out.

[@RI0Tkitty]

For me personally, I like to just buy one of each version and that’s it. I’ve seen people do things with the CDs, like displaying them along with photos. But yeah, I don’t know what disc player I have either…my XBOX I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️😹 And I’m jealous of your Han card!! 😤😹 He’s my bias and I rarely pull him lol

[@rockstarstay]

Omg your first skz albums! So proud!

[@KimWichman-xw3th]

Aw man I missed the live! But it was still fun to watch you unbox your first SKZ albums!!

[@whatdoido1121]

Oh Tony, youre in too Deep now😂 Once you start buying albums you end up wanting more. Love seeing this from you now!!❤️‍🔥

[@ninadiamant8937]

It brings me joy to see Skz unboxings. ❤

[@gabrielavillegas6991]

Wow you've come so far! It's such a ride when you get into Stray Kids, I'm so glad to be part of this too, thanks for being here ❤

[@SkzFanStarLost]

Tony if I get the Chan card with the Hop album, I'll mail it to you.

[@whatdoido1121]

I don't even watch Unboxing videos but I genuinely liked seeing you unbox these!

[@joud1860]

Tony you’re slowly becoming my comfort person you should know that

[@angelapeck5557]

Love unboxing SKZ albums!! Still yet to receive a Giant version and have 3 versions of Hop on order. The downside of being in the UK - we have to wait!! xx

[@rockstarstay]

Awwwww you pulled Vocalracha and my man Seungmin 🥰

[@vintage8177]

Ok, if you get skzoo’s, then that’ll be crazy!!!

[@fiveminuteforce]

Tony needs WolfChan!

[@comtessemousse]

Hi! Your first skz reaction popped up on my KZbin just as I was starting to listen to them. I have had a lot of fun exploring their music right along with you, and appreciating it in a more in depth way. You convinced me to finally buy the Bose headphones I've wanted for a decade 😆 Thank you for the long videos and the good vibes ❤️ Hope you have fun at their show in LA (I got tickets for Toronto!!) p.s. I just discovered ATARASHII GAKKO! (Japanese girl group) and have their AG! Calling album on loop, I would love to hear your thoughts on it 😀

[@CKayk2000]

I’m sad I missed another live, but still fun watching the unboxings. Thanks for sharing Tony!

[@lella1213]

Haha first unboxing I saw where a fork was involved. Most of us don’t do anything with the CDs, but they are a part of the album, so I would not give those away. Once you have enough CDs you can put them on a frame. When I first started following Stray Kids 4yrs ago, I bought one of each of the albums that had already been released, so I could have them all, but after that I started buying more than one. I have way too many!!

[@katrinalikespancakes]

congrats on your first albums and photocards!! exciting times

[@krose20]

7:00-7:10 yes that's how they get us 😂 glad you're going to see them! You'll have so much fun!

[@MindyRRD6760]

My 5-Star & Rock Star had so much stuff in them. Posters, stickers, cards, film negative strips, post cards... all kinds of stuff.

[@minihwas]

In Life was one of the first albums I bought. It opens backwards because the title track is back door, I thought that was pretty neat. And honestly I had to bring out my old radio to play these CDs lol. Now that I'm into kpop and have more CDs, I'm trying to use them more, so I usually play them while I'm tidying my room. I actually love the stickers too, I'm into journalling so they get used well

[@angelesgutierrez7020]

Ahhh Yei! My first two albums were Oddinary and NoEasy😂 I've never stopped since ❤

[@squishyPenguin18]

This was so fun and wholesome! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@CallistoTheWarriorQueen]

Haha we tried to warn you, it's so addictive 🤣

[@saffroncake7]

I also pulled that same Han postcard out of my Oddinary album! But your luck in getting your bias's photocard is about as good as mine 😂 Also hang on to those CDs whether you have a player or not (I don't either) because with the way all kinds of digital stuff is getting deleted these days it's good to have a physical copy of your music!

[@mar-vy22]

Ahh this was adorable lol No excitement but the pretend suspense was great 😂 I had to get a little cd player bc I also had no way to listen to cds besides one of my cars that my son took lol

[@brittanymeeker1116]

I’m living vicariously through you Tony 💗🎉

[@lavacakes11]

just a tip, if you want to buy more albums for cheaper you can usually find them from online kpop store websites, even with shipping costs sometimes online is cheaper than in person! Target and music plaza and in person stores in LA are pretty expensive for albums, same with other merch

[@BerryWolfy]

Inlife and Oddinary were the first albums I ever opened. Thank you for letting me relive the excitement again 😁 And if you decide to get a light stick, definitely try to buy in advance. Merch tends to sell out super quick at the concert itself.

[@elyanainsyirah]

Their solos are part of the concert setlist! Can't wait for the album to drop. I paid about 65sgd for my lightstick online (after discounts). At the concert itself, it would've costed me 80sgd. YOU NEED THE LIGHTSTICK for the concert. It syncs up with the concert setlist - blew my mind when I went for their concert in Sept.

[@hanjinchan]

Yayyyy!!!!! Good job Tony! Congrats with unboxing your first skz albums❤🎉

[@takukatm451]

if you just want the pcs you can buy them online or in stores. the place you went to doesn’t sell them but others do and you have options. also it’s better to join the album preorder period (same price) since there’s more stuff that you will get. and you have a better chance of getting the limited album or even signed albums.

[@weiwuxian297]

I bought portable cd player that can connect to headphones. I too didn’t have cd player for ages😂 In Life didn’t even have poster?😵

[@ClareMollieLou]

I have that Oddinary postcard of Han on my bedroom wall 😍

[@babychangbin]

one of us! one of us! 🗣🤣 I doubt you'll get to our level of spending on skz albums but personally I have spent close to $4k on skz concerts, merch, and albums so far and I've only been a stay for about 3 years 🙃 not pulling our bias photocards is what gets us buying more lol

[@laiyikwong2595]

多謝！

[@tonystocco]

Thank you 🙏

[@paulaflores8410]

Loved this, there are some nice CD display cases you might want to consider.

[@vcktyskz_1409]

Han loves youuuu 😂❤

[@prmtv]

When I first got into KPop in 2018 I was like nah, I'm not gonna waste money on albums cuz I don't listen to cds ever. Then I found Skz last year and yeah... that changed 😂😂 now I just have to collect every version of every album 😅 The photo books usually vary on which version of the album you get.

[@Kunabuzz]

Same here. Bought CD player set up and a copy of 6 albums so far. 😂

[@oneheart19]

Yeah, I got one boxed album, ODDinary, just to have one, but I also don't have a way to use the CD. Seems like it's different for sure. My book is totally different than yours (no orange smiley faces either) and I got a huge group poster, plus a postcard size group photo too. I got Felix for my big card, yay since he's my bias. I also got 7 baseball size cards: Bang Chan, I.N and Lee Know, plus unit groups including Minsung!!

[@GolyenHighway]

I'm a strange little person who had made sure that my computer always has a disc drive to put in game discs & CDs. And I have both a XBOX & a PS3 that can play CDs & DVDs. So I always have a way to play my albums. Buying physical albums is mostly for the picture books, the PCs, and the pretty boxes. Some are not great, but most are. (Looking at you Rock-Star album....Do better.) And I've been told that car stereos really like physical CDs, and they sound crisper than digital. Sadly I don't have a car anymore. Too expensive. So. Physical albums are for collectors. And it's a bonus if you have ways to play the CDs. A lot of albums come with Pre-order bonuses if you order them before it comes out. Normally a poster & a few extras. Also. There are what are called Nemo albums. They are just the photo cards, and a digital download card for the album. So you don't have the bulky albums & physical CD. Lightsticks are awesome if you can get them. But do be careful about the batteries. If you aren't going to be turning it on a lot, remove the battery pack. Leaving it in the lightstick, & letting the battery drain, can sometimes effect the wiring in it & it will stop working properly. Personally, I would love to get three different groups' lightsticks. (Actually I just found out that Epik High's lightstick is a middle finger....Might want that one too. Even though I don't really follow many of their stuff. Just too fun not to.) Idealy, I would get Stray Kids, Ateez, and Dreamcatcher's lightsticks......But I think that if I ever get the chance, I would buy Dreamcatcher's stick first...And would have to get the mood light as well. Because theirs can be made into a staff, and the mood light has a flame shaped cover that can be switched for the regular globe of the normal lightstick. So I could have a witches staff with a flame on top.....I'm sad that the newer staves don't have the lyrics for their fans song Full Moon written on them anymore. But it still comes in a coffin, so that's a bonus.

[@iman88]

Hmm. So I guess chan is your bias. He's also mine from the start :) love our laptop boy

[@maria-.-]

And now you're officially a stay welcome to the fandom

[@starbbokie]

this is so exciting!!!!!

[@von1glik]

kpop is an expensive hobby

[@bearyk]

Aw man I missed this!!

[@numenius15]

Thank you for unboxing the SKZ album! 😀

[@rebeccacaughron2880]

I giggled through this entire video 😂 Maybe more of a cackle, but still. I WAS ENTERTAINED

[@mar-vy22]

Also, loving my tumbler..the logo was waaaayyyy bigger than expected 😂

[@rebeccacaughron2880]

YES I HAVE ALL OF THEM AND MULTIPLE COPIES OF EACH!

[@alyssan62]

I buy usually one of each of the main albums and then sometimes they have smaller member specific versions that i will buy a selection of. I dont buy them specifically TO get certain cards. I like collecting the albums and then trading photocards for the ones i want 😊

[@Dad-sg8de]

the review of the card is so funny.....haha

[@ciarasperanza1509]

This was awesome! Great pulls!!!!

[@XAmeChanX]

I have albums and dont play the cds, but have a dedicated shelf for everything! They are still cool to have! Also, you can trade cards! Maybe take them to the concert and interact with other fans see what cards they have!

[@XAmeChanX]

being a fan .... aint cheap hahaha

[@numenius15]

This month there will be a new album from SKZ that will be released, you know. 😃

[@ChangbinsThirdToenail]

You better sleep with one eye open with your doors locked Tony, I’m coming to steal those photo cards

[@Nae623-kc6it]

Laptop guy is not my main bias but for some reason I ALWAYS pull him!!

[@mindyoltrogge5375]

Love! I haven’t bought an album yet.

[@cicibingham6217]

If you watch the full album trailer for Oddinary, you will get the smiley face reference. It falls down the wall when Felix walks into "Ordinary", and it switches to "Oddinary".

[@LizzyCat143]

Depending on the dvd or blue ray player it can play cds

[@SakkaraKirax]

If you want more cards or a poster, pre-ordering an album almost always comes with extras. Things like posters, stickers, an extra card or postcard... could be different things for different albums. I found an online retailer in the UK who gets the albums from Korea, which saves me the trouble of trying to do it myself (there are no physical kpop stores where I live.) I ordered one that had the official JYP shop pre-order bonus and got an extra card. The price is good for the UK, in the area of £30 unless you buy some kind of special version. Most albums from Stray Kids come in two normal versions plus a limited version, each of which will have a different coloured box or cover art. The photo book and cards you get will be different for each version. The limited edition for Oddinary was black and green and had the best photo book and cards of the three versions, but I could no longer find it in the UK by the time I purchased the album. I found Stray Kids in the Oddinary era, but at the time I didn't know about kpop comebacks, albums, etc. I have now collected their entire catalogue, which has meant my birthday and christmas lists for the last couple of years were full of Stray Kids albums.😂 Buying the albums as they release them spreads the cost out for me. Over a year they typically have two Korean albums and a Japanese album, but it changes. Now that I'm caught up, I always go the pre-order route. I feel good about supporting the Kids this way. They have brought so much joy to my life.

[@STAY.IKNOWYOUKNOWWEKNOW...]

I'm the same. Just collecting one of each album through my Birthday and Christmas lists, and now pre-ordering new ones as they come out. They bring me so much joy in my life, I feel like I'm supporting them when I buy the album. It's not even about the pictures for me. Once its unboxed and seen its on the shelf. But I'm enjoying watching my collection grow.

[@SakkaraKirax]

@@STAY.IKNOWYOUKNOWWEKNOW... I enjoy the photo books and sometimes flip through the older ones when I get a new album to see how far they've come. They're like little time capsules. As for the cards, I do like the excitement of not knowing who I'll get and hoping for certain members that I haven't gotten in a while (Changbin and Felix, I love you both to bits, but please give someone else a chance!) But I don't trade them or buy extras or anything. I just enjoy the surprise and then having them in my little collection.

[@STAY.IKNOWYOUKNOWWEKNOW...]

@@SakkaraKirax Yes, I know what you mean about them being time capsules. Plus each album concept is unique so I appreciate the pictures. I guess I don't want the book to get ruined, so it stays on the shelf. Luckily, youtube has a constant stream nice photos! Getting albums and merch in the uk isn't that easy. I wish they had kpop stores here. I keep going back to the JYP store online to buy direct from source but its always sold out. I feel like JYP are letting them down there. Do you buy from Sokolab?

[@Wii43]

this is so fun to watch!! 🤣👍🏻

[@ykook7000]

I play the CDs in my car at full volume...no other way to play the CDs

[@MichaelaReacts]

“So you only get one card per??” The true kpop fan experience

[@dddlkn]

I also do not have a CD player for all my albums. Only just bought a vinyl player after pre ordering Come Play on vinyl 😂 Absolutely buy multiples to get pcs. Life of a collector is expensive.

[@chloeblue3790]

getting albums is just addictive❤😂

[@Nyuusiek]

Usually if you buy a new album as a pre-order (still a chance to do that with HOP, I need to buy my own haha) you get a bonus card or poster or something like that 😂 InLife is one of their oldest, which is probably why there's less stuff. I started buying K-pop albums last year and I also didn't have a CD player, not even in my car, but my husband got me one this year as a birthday present 😂

[@eukiagempiso9175]

You know... I also wanna pull my laptop guy, Chan... Of all my albums I only managed to pull him ONCE...😭😭🤧

[@Izzie.One43]

Ur pulls were so good. Keep your doors locked or I'm coming for the photo cards 😭

[@missangel3131]

I usually play my SKZ CDs on my dad's old Panasonic boombox (I think it's the RX-DT75) that's like a meter long and still works perfectly somehow. The sound is as thunderous as their music so it works lol

[@Kunabuzz]

I just bought a signed copy of HOP. Soooo excited. ❤

[@fatii178]

Bro i love you 😭😭

[@2006contance]

I dont own cd player anymore too... those CDs are collectible item now on my display 😂

[@Brivassallo]

Haha is official guys, he's definitely a STAY now 😂🎉❤

[@kimmycup9313]

I love this for you!! The first time I bought a SKZ album was my first kpop album too and I used latex gloves so I wouldnt put my fingerprints on the cards lmaooo - my friend said I went overboard lol PS: I have the face card of Bang Chan from my Oddinary Album if you want I would be more than happy to donate it to you Tony! From one baby Stay to another

[@TahneeLane]

I buy one of each version. And then if I don't get the cards I want I buy or trade for them later. They are expensive enough without buying multiples of the same one.

[@ClareMollieLou]

I went out an bought a CD player just for these albums lol

[@OkieDoak19]

If you are into displaying the CDs at all, I highly suggest the...I don't remember which version it is, but for the ATE album, there is one that is beautiful. It has traditional Korean style art on it. It if the only one I have displayed so far.

[@ValeriaGarcia-rx1dl]

I've gotten laptop boy almost in every album I've got and he's my bias, I'm Lucky 😅

[@tutuhana]

I don't have those albums yet. I'm busy buying new album, merchandise & saving money for the concert. 😆😆 Will buy later after the concert 😅😅

[@Hannah.Belle.]

Side note: those lightsticks sell really fast especially when there's an upcoming concert. So I say you buy them early.

[@8nana8]

Wait, the trading unit photocards for the Oddinary album were only included in pre-order? O:

[@Muskokagirl527]

The kids talk about the upcoming album, production, and their meanings in music. kzbin.infoUgkxqli2SRuLNIiNfyJ7pz2a8mdn6CdxMD4o?si=pNgQC0x_h41R39iJ

[@bex_skz]

1. Imho it’s actually worth listening to SKZ’s physical CDs - my car still does cds but I also got a cheap little cd player off Amazon and hooked it up to my tv stereo with an aux cord. If you do actually get one you’ll hear why I recommended it (especially for Five Star imho). 2. I did get into collecting the stuff and it is a lot but it’s really fun somehow 😅 I do actually currently have some extras and can send you some Laptop Guy cards if you like, haha

[@bex_skz]

3. Target has some of the more recent SKZ albums for $25 and certain versions of those come with extra Target exclusive cards

[@d1v4j]

11:35 canada mentioned!!!

[@jaycebradley8404]

how fun! i hope you can trade for channie and binnie at the concert lol

[@cherylduhaime2828]

And now you know why KPop fans are always broke! Between buying albums / photocards / special merch to the cost of the concert tickets - not to mention travel to and from the venue - and buying merch at the concert - we're always broke! Let me know when you go to a cupsleeve event - where there are vendors selling handmade merch!

[@Linos.leebit]

This was fun!

[@oooitsghost847]

I’ll will happily send you a skz package if you want with cards and stickers etc! And even a copy of no easy!

[@mar-vy22]

I’ll look at my cards. If I have a few of Chan, I’ll send you one if you have a P.O. Box or something

[@Hannah.Belle.]

So when are you buying the lightstick (Nachimbong)? 😂 version 2 would sync automatically when you're at the concert. I hope you get Chan's PC. hehe. And I hope he finds you so you can get him to sign it. Hihi.

[@tonystocco]

Oh god there are different versions and for each member of the group? I have no clue. They just said they'll be in stock in a couple weeks.

[@XxSukiDaisukiXx]

@@tonystocco Theres only 2 versions! v1 and v2, the ones that come in stock now are usually v2. theyre just updated for all the new concert tech :)
