And Jagger's 'lyrical wizardry' disappeared about 40 plus years ago.
You honestly think Mick Jagger hasn't written good lyrics since 1975?
I have to politely disagree. "Saint Of Me" and "I Go Wild" are two examples off the top of my head of what I would consider superior lyric writing and as good as anything he's ever done.

I have to politely disagree with your polite disagreement. i think the lyrics to "miss you" are about the last great ones he wrote.

They do of course need just one more album to overtake the beatles.

OK: I#m not a Beatles specialist and I'm not a statistics freak; but are you telling me, that after 29 studio albums, 13 live albums, 24 compilation albums, the Stones still have to catch up one more with the Beatles? I mean, they broke up in 1970???

I'd love a new Stones album, and I hope that they'll write a lot of new songs for it. That way they can pick out the strongest 10 songs. It needs to be kept somewhat short for it to be strong. It's a stupid decision to make it long because their last album is 10 years ago. Exile style albums only come around once, maybe twice, in a career, so just skip the overly long album format. It should be:
The single as the first song, which (of course) is an up tempo rocker.
A slow blues
A country song
Mid tempo rocker
Old blues cover
Keith song that's not a ballad, preferably a country or reggae tune
Rocker
Dark ballad
Country song
Chuck Berry cover
That's an album in the vein of Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers. I'm not saying they can match the greatness of those old albums, but it has its merit to do it like this. If you make an album with few rock songs, they'll stand out in contrast to the slower ones. I mean Sticky Fingers is only half filled with rock songs, and it's still considered a rock classic. Same with Let It Bleed. Do it like that. End it with something like Let It Rock, to kinda go full circle.

I'd be satisfied with some great songs like "Doom and Gloom" but I don't need a new forced weak album like "A Bigger Bang".
Just good songs without the whole new album concept.
Anyway "album projects" are pretty old fashioned nowdays IMO.
Though a newly recorded collection of old outtakes a' la "Tattoo You" with some brand new songs would be awsome!
I thought A Bigger Bang was neither forced nor weak.
'Doom and Gloom' was both.

The simple fact that Mick Jagger didn't waste any of his lyrical wizardry on unfinished songs for the Sticky Fingers re-release makes me feel fairly confident that new work will be recorded soon. Keith's new album is already old, and he seems musically inspired for the first time in awhile. I saw the Columbus and Indy shows, and the way they progressed between the two, switching up rhythms and improvising, sounded like a band ready to drop some new classics. It's gonna happen.

I have to say, it would be a little odd to hear 1970s-Jagger singing 'Brown Sugar' then 2015-Jagger burst in on the chorus, louder than the outtake we all know...
And what do you mean by 'Keith's new album is already old...'? Do you mean the first single...?
I mean he's had it completed or at least mostly recorded for a long time now.

I don't really think it's a question that needs discussing but somebody on here used to obsess about it.

I guess if that's the way you want to look at it.
Mick's written some bad lyrics and some mediocre lyrics, sure. Every songwriter has at some point. But Mick will admit that lyrics aren't meant to be poetry. I believe he's also written some great lyrics in the last 40 years, though some here obviously disagree.
I know lyric quality is entirely subjective, but I think those two songs I cited contain good examples of interesting, complex lyricism. To say that he hasn't written good lyrics since 1981 seems very strange to me, but I know that many Stones fans reject anything post-"Tattoo You".

I died a little the day I heard Mick sing "sharks will cry".
