Someone else wrote: "I’m sorry but Lorde putting her cooch on vinyl is iconic asf."
Another fan posted: "Just got the virgin vinyl, I opened it and first thing I saw was Lorde’s hairy ***** hun I wasn’t ready for that jumpscare lmaooo."
A warning in regards to the album cover can be found on Lorde's website.
It reads: "12” X-ray picture disc vinyl, high gloss gatefold cover, 8 page full colour booklet, metallic silver printed inner sleeve. Parental advisory: adult images.”
The 28-year-old also played a surprise set at Glastonbury on Friday and performed songs from the new album.
