Admittedly, I would prefer a new album with only songs I’ve never heard. However I think it’s important to take a step outside of personal preferences and start thinking about the artistry behind the record. The songs are meticulously chosen because they tell a story, or maybe fit a theme, or a concept. We have to value the product as a whole, and IMHO in this case it’s a timeline of her story which starts back in 2012/13 or whenever those older songs were created. We shouldn’t dismiss an upcoming release simply because it contains leaked songs we weren’t supposed to hear in the first place  This record is going to be gorgeous, I can feel it in my core  Or maybe that’s the burrito I ate 

Text Book, Wildflower Wildfire, Blue Banisters, Arcadia, The Trio, Sweet Carolina, Black Bathing Suit, Beautiful and Violets for Roses are new songs. She literally started writing and recording them last fall and completed the recording sessions in June. She reworked Thunder a lot, as well as Living Legend - albeit to a lesser extent - according to insiders. Erickson is credited as a co-writer of If You Lie Down With Me which means that the song must have been heavily reworked for the new album. How is this lazy? She scrapped some songs she wrote with Antonoff last year. We're not even sure if she reworked the likes of Cherry Blossom and Nectar of the Gods - and even Dealer - or not because it seems that the insiders have had access to an earlier version of the album and haven't even listened to songs such as Black Bathing Suit (at the very least; I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't listened to some of the other new tracks as well). This is the second album she is about to release this year, merely 7 months after Chemtrails. She'll have released 8 studio albums by the end of the year. In less than a decade. The first singles off Blue Banisters showcase sophisticated and elegant writing and instrumentals; a departure from Chemtrails and NFR in several ways. And this does feel like Lana at her most intimate. 
 
I don't know what else she's supposed to do in order to please some of you at this point. I keep reading posts that constantly reek of negativity - borderline toxicity at this point - on nearly every single thread even for completely random reasons. Why is everyone being triggered so easily? Why do people keep dragging her claiming that she's been burned out/lazy/an elitist/hypocrite? It's exhausting. I'm signing off. 
 
 

Did you miss the fact she's giving us TWO albums this year? TWO?

I don't think there are - I'm pretty sure there are only art cards? 

Ugh I wish I had!!! 
 
I didn't because the listing didn't say art card and I got nervous so I got the CD pack, even though I have already ordered the CD/Casette pack! 
 
 

Also sent them a message as well
 

Possibly, though the image they've got is the standard cover. Could be they're just using a generic image though till they get more details...
