JumpingjakOlantern - I'd love a new album as well but does anyone here really think the Stones read this board?

If the band is meeting next month to discuss concert plans for 2013, which are expected to commence this summer, there will be no time to write, record, mix, package, and release a new full album of original material to tour behind. Besides, they are still to be performing under the "50 and Counting" banner. If there is to be a new album at all, expect it toward the end of 2014 at the earliest.

the question is simple: can they do better than Doom & Gloom and One Last Shot?

Let's face it, it's a dysfunctional band. The band's songwriting duo hates each others guts. They can't be in the same room for more than one or two days at a time.
They are separate entities more than a functional band. A business corporation so to speak. The creativity is gone.

The diehards might want one, but they're a small minority. If sales of the last few studio albums are any indication, the mainstream likely doesn't care about a new Stones album. Besides, there's no indication that Jagger and Richards can write together anymore.

To the Rolling Stones: When finalizing the track listing for your newest,latest and probably last studio recording, just pick the best 10 or 11 songs. Less than that would be okay but no more. Less is more. No Don Was, No Bill, No Mick T. No session players. Make it Funky. Try to be creative and co-create amoung current members including Ronnie, Darryl and Chuck. And please do not try to sound current with trendy tricks. You guys already blew it with two songs that could have been a great opening one two punch not heard since the It's Only Rock & Roll album. In fact, let that album title be your inspiration and focal center. Also try to make one more good album cover. No album name. Simply call it 'the Rolling Stones'

If Doom is representative of what they can do nowdays .......... bring iT ON !!! I LOVE this is still booming out the radio every day here in Perth - on 96fm! It's a GREAT radio track, short, punchy, nice riff and sympathetic production. Classis Stones (yes, I KNOW it's a Jagger tune - big deal, it's a keeper!)
4 months before a tour???? Given THEY don't physically package or release - and given they can give the MIXING to someone else as well, so they just have to record the damn thing, maybe lend a hand to production,and given Doom and Shot took, what, a few days of, like, actual WORK by the band, they have PLENTY of time.
GO TO IT boys....

They should be long past worrying about the "mainstream". Write a classic Stones album and let the rock historians decide in about ten years how good it really was.

Maybe they shouldn't worry about the mainstream, but of course they do. Jagger's obsession with trying to remain relevant is long-standing. If they're going to bother to make a new album, they'll want to make a hit album. If only the diehards buy it, that won't be enough to justify the effort.

You make some excellent points. It will be interesting to see in which direction they go with the new album. I really like their latest two songs.

New album? Yeh, it could be great but in all likelihood we'd get A Bigger Bang Part 2. I'd buy whatever they put out but you can gaurentee that the day it was released the IORR intellectual elite would tear it apart and pronounce it to be a dud.
Intellectual elite? What's intellectual about hearing bad Stones music? You feel it in your gut or you don't.
jamesfdouglas - An all-blues album? Yawn, no thanks. The Rolling Stones aren't a blues band. They're a rock and roll band...
Since when? They're a pop band. On any given day they've been an R&B band, a ballad band, a blues band, an Elizabethan band, an electric folk band, a psychedelic band, a country & western band, a reggae band, a disco band, an electonica band a jazzy band, a hard rock band, and just about any kind of band except polka. That 'Greatest Rock & Roll Band In The World' was just for marketing. They weren't any better at rock and roll than Led Zeppelin. But 'The World's Greatest Chameleon Pop Group' doesn't sell as well. But that's what they are.
Yes, the same people who believe the Stones are going to record a new album, invite Wyman and/or Taylor back in the band and in fact write songs together and have Woddy share in the process and the credit, something they didn't do even when they actually were a real working band. I mean, why wouldn't they read this board, there has to be at least a couple of dozen people worldwide who post here, maybe even as many as a hundred?Quote
