Trouble is that these days it can be all over the news, but all those stories are just quoting and requoting the one original source, which might be wrong.

Not a very interesting article in the Guardian, but one thing caught my attention:
"Earlier this year, Mick Jagger hinted that the Stones had new material for a potential album. “It would be very nice and I’ve got a lot of new songs and songs I’ve written over the last couple of years,” he said. “I’ve done really good demos for all of them, which I would love to record. So, let’s hope so.”"
And I think this is really the problem, and makes me rather pessimistic about their "new album". Whereas apparantly Keith wrote his new solo album in the studio in cooperation with Steve Jordan, apparantly with the Stones it will be - again - Mick having his songs, Keith having his songs, and the Stones just working as hired session-players.
Which is exactly the main reason why all of their post-Undercover albums (to say the least) lack the quality of their earlier work.

Yep. Just a continuation of how the Stones have been since 1989 - a lot of Mick songs, the worst songs of which are his, and Keith's token 2 with his singing and a few riff inspired songs Mick adds lyrics to.
A BIGGER BANG seemed to have gotten away from that more than usual. Or at least it seemed like it.

They could so avoid that. Sure, do Mick's songs. But let the band give 'em a whhhaaaack.
I think Keith's idea of working with whatever comes out would suit them better in this instance. Mick's had enough of his ideas of how the Stones should sound dominate for the past, oh, since 1978.

This is Keith-abuse of the absolute worst kind. 37 years of being pushed around by that ... that ... that ... singer? No more -- FREE KEITH!
