McCartney III has leaked. It is quite good! (assuming you’re a Macca fan since you’re reading this thread). Very adventurous and creative-his best since Chaos & Creation, IMO.

Imagine the thrill if the Stones were to ever release a new album...
Instead, they give us colored vinyl oldies and compilations (HONK ), and near 50 year old recycled leftover tunes that were originlly scrapped and forgotten.
The release of the new Ghost Town was exciting, but alas it was just one lonely tune, and you can only listen to it so many times before you want to hear something else.
Anyhow, hats off to Paul...and Bob...and The Who ...and Neil...and many others...even Springsteen... for keeping it real by releasing brand new albums w/new material for their fans to enjoy.

Paul's presales were apparently so good that he added more versions of the album and more merchandise. I'm kind of hoping the Stones are doing a bit of parallel thinking with their brick & mortar store and preparing for a merchandising blitz whenever the new album finally comes out... if it ever does.
I agree with you. Living In A Ghost Town was great, and I am all for Scarlet and All The Rage, but they feel like appetizers when you're starving. Fifteen years between albums of original material is just too long for an active band. It's depressing that their legacy has become so precious that they apparently feel they can't put out new albums that will ever live up to it. I'm glad that McCartney, Dylan and the rest don't feel so hemmed in by their past that they're second-guessing themselves into limbo like the Stones.

This does not bode well if you ask me. A long ways from Polythene Pam. Perhaps I will be surprised.

Oh the Stones will do more than this whenever the new album comes out, but that's still a very BIG IF - sadly it seems more and more doubtful as time marches on.
I would expect a new single or maybe an EP at most, and if so expect multi-formats, multi-colors, multi-mixes, mutated arrangements, etc., etc., etc,
While Ghost Town was great and showed promise for thing to possibly come, the dredging up of past leftovers and wasting time adding new bits seemed desperate - why not spend time on new material?
And while it was nice to get an updated version of Criss Cross and have it on an official release after all these years, Scarlet and Rage were nothing more than filler from the dumpster imo.
It's been 15 years since A Bigger Bang and there's only been a few new original tunes since then ...seems like they're going out with a whimper rather than any sort of bang...a bit sad when you think about it.
But again, hats off to Paul and all the rest who unlike the Stones are making brand new music well into their golden years while not living completely off their past glories.
With the positive reviews thus far, I sense another Grammy is in Paul's future, and whether or not the new album is really good, he deserves the accolades for at least trying.
