Lol - if it had been the standard cover I would agree, as an extra I like it.

The graphic design is really bad though but I do like the actual witchy type AHS Coven picture 

My order for this was confirmed today!! I’m excited af lol

Love this alternative cover from Urban Outfitters.

I hear you; I think it's over quickly because we already know half the songs on the album so it doesn't feel fresh and new. And I agree, it's too comfortable.  Personally, if she had gone more down the Venice Bitch route I would have preferred that as that is sonically different for her and the instrumentation is beautiful. But that being said, it's a good album.

I'm really loving this album so far, except for a couple of songs which just sound messy and unfinished: "Fuck it" and "Bartender", the latter being my least favourite. Whilst I'm loving the album, I must admit there is still a little disappointment. The singles, in particular MAC, VB are stunning, and I was really hoping for more of that psychedelic / prog rock kinda instrumentation, it doesn't appear elsewhere enough.  I think the lyrics to the new version of TNBAR aren't as powerful as the original leak which is a shame but it's still a beautiful track. I love 'Doin Time' but it sounds out of place.  My faves of the 'new' songs are NFR (though dislike the 'yeah' bit just before the chorus, Cinnamon (gorgeous), The Greatest (love it!) and Happiness is a Butterfly (love the switch to the serial killer).
 
As a matter of interest, my best friends (who LOVE BTD album and few songs since) said they are so bored of the same sound and vocal effects and are bored of the Americana style references.  They're waiting for her to do something different, raise the tempo etc.  I agree with them; it would be nice to be surprised. Whilst big fans can hear differences, in truth it's the same sound and this album isn't eclectic in any way. 
 
Anyway.. lets hope the signed cd I/we bought arrives tomorrow.  I bought that gaga Star Is Born album signed, and it arrived about 10 months after release! (Lazy gaga.)

Just checked and mine hasn't despatched yet

I deliberately stayed away form the snippets for that very reason.  I wanted something new to experience.

'Bartender' stands out from everything else that wasn't released as a single from the album (except 'The Greatest'). It has structure and form, it's musically tight, and it's idiosyncratic in concept like the best of all her songwriting. I cringe a little at the 'bought me a truck' English, but that's me. 
 
 
I think one 'baa-ar-tender' would have been enough. I agree it's neither clever nor novel after the first occurrence.
