I love Just Another Night, even though the sounds in there get in the way of the good song at times, imo.
England Lost comes across as nearly as bad as Let's Work for me. The production doesn't bother me as much as the pale, melody-lacking, uninventive and almost childish songwriting.
I'm counting on Mick doing much better than EL and GGG in the future, be it on Stones- or solo-albums.
For pure pop-songs, I'm one of the few who actually enjoy stuff like Visions Of Paradise, Don't Call Me Up, Say You Will and Secrets. Those songs have melody, good sounds, great singing and are well-crafted songs.

Huh. I happen to like those as well. Not much on his first album is there to like, although I've always gotten a good laugh out of 1/2 A Loaf and Running Out Of Luck. Lucky In Love would be fantastic if it wasn't for - Jeff Beck pretty much ruined whatever he played on, and there seems to be some kind of theme with Mick's bridges (I think there's one in Radio Control that's just as bad).
I loved Throwaway... but then after DIRTY WORK it was the closest thing to a decent new Stones song I could find. That album... Throwaway, Say You Will, Kow Tow and Peace For The Wicked are excellent, the rest of it is a life threatening yawn.
WANDERING SPIRIT, of course, is exceptional.

Love WS.
OK...here's a question, if released as a Stones album, would it have cracked into the top ten of all Stones albums? If not, what keeps it out of the top ten?

An interesting quote from 2015 from Keith:
"I was at sort of a loose end, and I realized there is one thing missing out of my life, the most importang thing: recording. I made the first two because the Stones were in one of their hibernations - and basically, I probably made this one because the Stones were in hibernation at the time. It's funny because there's one part of me saying, You're being disloyal! Then you got the other Stones thinking, 'You're crazy, why do you need to go out and do that?' And I didn't really need to do it, I just enjoyed doing it. It's an interesting way to work, just me and Steve (Jordan), which makes it fairly cheap."
Interesting that was the response despite Mick maintaining a healthy amount of solo work and side projects for the past 34 years.

I think Keith is just happy to take a back seat and play his guitar when it comes to playing live, he enjoys playing with the Stones more i imagine, he likes Mick being the front-man.
But when it comes to recording, its obvious he enjoys working with Steve, at Keith's age i doubt he enjoys the stress of working with Mick, i think this time he is completely disillusioned with Mick and i actually doubt the new Stones album will have much more input from Keith. Same as the last few Stones albums.
Wouldn't surprise me if Keith gets back in the studio with Steve after this tour, and i think Keith will wave goodbye to the Stones for the last time.
Sobriety makes you look at life differently, i'm betting Keith has tried so hard to collaborate with Mick on this new Stones album but Mick's not having any of it, he wants to bring their own separate songs.
Might as well just do solo albums in that case.

When you say an IORR-level album, I'm guessing you mean something that could conceivably be created by The IORR Band. If you're expecting another "Time Waits for No One" or "Fingerprint File," I fear you'll be dispappointed.

I've never been dispappointed before...does it hurt? If not, sign me up!

Wow. Not saying it's impossible, but speculating a sober Keith quits the Stones after 2019 to pursue a solo career at age 75 is really putting yourself out there.

I don't mind if they bring their songs separately. As long as we don't get any "Streets Of Love"-type stuff from MJ, I still think that new songs recorded with the whole band and the Keithifying of the MJ songs could still bring the album up to a very high level, better than solo albums.
Maybe not the new Some Girls, but maybe possibly hopefully an IORR-level album?
Anyone with me here?
