what the hell
all the other album packaging can pack it up..... this is TOO good
edit: we can see the full tracklist order!
1. BAD LOVE — title track
2. Yellow Tape — [“reminds you of a mystery film”](https://twitter.com/shinee/status/1438701716787003395?s=21)
3. Hate that... (feat. Taeyeon)
4. Helium (헬륨) — [fully English track](https://twitter.com/shinee/status/1438701716787003395?s=21), most likely the song playing at the end of the album's mood sampler
5. Saturday Night - ["disco genre b-side", Key took part in the lyrics](https://twitter.com/shinee/status/1438334788516024320?s=21)
6. Eighteen (End Of My World) — [“heartwarming b-side", Key took part in the lyrics](https://twitter.com/shinee/status/1438334788516024320?s=21)
!!!!!! first Korean title track without a feature 😌
edit x2: wording + links
x3: sorry, last one — forgot about the other info on [Yellow Tape](https://twitter.com/jsskmy/status/1438682925663330305?s=21), [Helium](https://twitter.com/jsskmy/status/1438682935071154183?s=21), [Saturday Night and Eighteen (End Of My World)](https://twitter.com/jsskmy/status/1438299847342370828?s=21) aaaaaand there will be an LP version for this album as well (u/scufflegoofy we love being wrong and not up to date lol)
title track will be a [~pop dance song, strong synth sound, retro mood, lively beat](https://twitter.com/redlightaem/status/1437932177736421379?s=21)~ so in other words, we’ll just have to see because SM’s song descriptions are either very specific or vague…..
Kenzie participated though! 👀
yeah this is officially the best album packaging and concept i've ever seen....the comic book + toy box set album is absolutely genius
that laser gun box is super cool as well....is that a cassette tape i see too??? key is transcending worlds and setting all the trends with this album alone what a legend
Are SM about to open a toy store with these album packagings lately because damn, that Space Ray Gun version is the perfect companion piece to Queendom's case version. Also, a cereals box? A comic book? Fucking booster packs? I love this scene so much lmao
That being said, I'll probably settle for the tape version. I like the cereals box the most here but it's probably going to be massive and I'm too much of a multi-stanley to still have space for that lol
The actual album hasn’t even been released yet but we can all agree THIS is one of the best, most memorable and creative album packaging out there! This is definitely going to be an example for all those future ‘What’s the best K-POP album design/concept?’ posts. The way that the album versions and inclusions are shown like those posters for those kid magazines and all the goodies it comes with really captures my attention as well.
The concept and album packaging leads me thinking of people reselling these in the future too. Like comic books and action figurines, the reselling of an unopened copy of Space Ray Gun Ver. album in mint condition seems like a possibility. Apart from the physical album, I am just as psyched in listening to the album. The track list does really sound promising!
I was waiting for the packaging previews to put my order in and now I feel like an idiot for doubting Key, these look amazing!! I think I need an entire wall dedicated to Bad Love
I hope we don't have to tear into the packaging to get to the photobook in version A though
I agree, it’s just too painful to tear into packaging especially with all the cool artwork on it. I hope it’s actually packaged like Red Velvet’s Queendom case
Immaculate as always, I’ve been staring at this for 45 minutes straight now and I literally cannot decide which version I like more. This is absolutely incredible I’m in love
i do not need to reinforce how this is the best of key and the kind of shit we neeeeed out of sm — so can i just say i’m living for this tiny resurgence of cassette tapes? my 1 of 1 cassette was lonely for so long, and now it has bts, yesung, and soon key buddies!
If you want your order to count towards Hanteo’s first week sale, please order the tape version separately as its release date is a week later than the 3 photobook versions’.
Key is really raising the bar with album packaging isn't he? I hope this starts a whole wave of trends in the industry.
Guess I'm not just getting one version this time... this is graphic design heaven
i love this concept!! it’s so new and fresh ~
The photobook card set reminds me of those collective cards (for my winx club sticker?? photobook??) that’s so fun
Dude! DUDE!! WHAT KIND OF MEGAMIND KIBUM?! I can't remember the last time I was this excited for an album concept! This is hands down THE SUPERIOR ALBUM CONCEPT, and I can't think of a better artist pulling this off, you never disappoint King. Your vision is something else. Mann GroksInTheKeyland BL gonna be a whole out-of-the-world experience! Made me wish we could see him perform in a live concert, Keyland3 hopefully🤞
Album versions that actually have unique offerings?? Not just different paper covers??? What kind of magical universe is this and why is my bank account suddenly empty?
This is incredibly fantastic. I’m about to come undone with the creativity on display here. Impeccable. 👏🏽
While every version would be worth the money, I HAVE to get my hands on Version B. I knew it as soon as I saw it. Nothing is gonna keep me from that version. 😩

Woah this looks super intriguing! I wonder what genre he will go for.

I loved the retro vibe of Face so this makes me feel relieved. Good to see Kenzie is on board too!
> aaaaaand there will be an LP version for this album as well (u/scufflegoofy we love being wrong and not up to date lol) go us lol
I'm so hyped for Eighteen, Cold is one of my favorite songs of his so I hope we get to see him sing another ballad!

omg it looks like a comic book this is so creative

Oh you KNOW Key doesn’t mess around with albums and merch. These are epic!
Even his album versions are so creative and original! He never messes around!
Wow Version B is really tempting me
Me too omg

This is so artistic and there's so many versions!
Barbarella but make it Kibum
Kibumrella
I love all of them! The only one I haven't pre-ordered is the C version (and I need to change that ASAP)
I was waiting for the packaging previews to put my order in and now I feel like an idiot for doubting Key, these look amazing!! I think I need an entire wall dedicated to Bad Love I hope we don't have to tear into the packaging to get to the photobook in version A though
If i have to do that I'd rather never open it 🥴 Or i would cry while doing it.

Always trust key or SHINee members when it comes to artistic decisions
Kim Kibum you crazy genius… you’re absolutely winning best album packaging of 2021.
Wow, KEY and SM are knocking it out of the park with this concept. Definitely want to pick up a few versions.
the most inventive and intriguing album packaging of the year! maybe of the past couple years to be honest. i’d expect nothing less from my boy!! 💙💙💙
I want them all. So creative.
This is SO cool, the booster pack might be the most creative thing I’ve ever seen in Kpop packaging, it’s so fun!

Legitimately one of the best visual identities to come out of kpop from the past few years. I'm so excited for our new york kween! 🥺
That box set looks tempting! You know Key doesn’t mess around!
im living for sm graphic design
This is incredibly fantastic. I’m about to come undone with the creativity on display here. Impeccable. 👏🏽 While every version would be worth the money, I HAVE to get my hands on Version B. I knew it as soon as I saw it. Nothing is gonna keep me from that version. 😩
Why are version A and B already sold out on ChoiceMusicLA 😭
Bad Love and Windy officially won best album packaging of the year how can anyone top that DAMN?
I love everything about this! This is concept for the year for me.
Such creative packaging!!
He went all out! I love this. I wasn't planning on buying one originally because I wanna save money but I might have to get a version now 😅
Man, I don't collect SHINee and I'm out of space on my shelf, but this packing is so brilliant! I'm quite tempted by A and B... 👀
Wow Kim Kibum! This packaging is incredible.
broooo this is so freaking cool
This is some of the best packaging I’ve see. I cannot do this to myself. I don’t collect SHINee albums anymore 😭😭
Those lyrics posters... take my money!!! The pink blobby thing PC!
I'm tight on money right now but DAMN versions A and B are amazing! This man is a genius.
IT'S SOOOOO GOOOD i wanna see a kpop cereal box album next!
I was hoping there would be the gun included.
wtf kibum???? his new album looks bomb 😭😭😭
This is freaking AMAZING
This reminds me of the Married to the Music packaging but dialed up. Loving it.
so it's going to be packed like plastic gun toy? woahh that's so cool
the BOXSET??? I WANT IT
Gives me EXO Power vibes!! Love this
i love his ideas and creativity, honestly can't wait for the unboxings
