I want it to sound vital, aggressive, sometimes angry and guitar-heavy. I want an album that feels like a hit to the body! I want it just to rock and roll hard and kick our asses (just like AAB & DW do).

Regarding the last couple of albums, I have trimmed down VL, B2B & ABB to 37-40 min runtime albums. To me, those shortened versions are very good albums, I love to listen to regularly. They are not great, but very good including some moments of greatness. The problem with latter day Stones-albums is that they packed too many songs, somes of them subpar, some just clunkers on the albums. Leave them out, add a single-b-side here and there and you´ll see that they still shine.

For instance, I like my 37-minute-version of Bridges better than albums like SG, GHS or IORR. Well maybe it is not exactly as good as DW or Undercover but all in all pretty much the same level.

With the last three albums they gave us a lot of songs and everyone of us found a lot songs to complain about, but the amount of songs gives us the chance to create our own 40-minutes-versions. We will never agree what songs to leave out, but most of us would find at least 10 great/very good/good songs.

Listening to my shorter versions of ABB, VL & B2B I honestly cannot find any signs of decline, they are still the world´s greatest r n r band!

I hope the new one is going to be a 40-minutes-record like in the old days, where they carefully selected which tracks are really worth to be included.

Its good to give the fans a lot of songs, one enjoys this and one enjoys that but on the other hand it's not good for the album when it comes to rating it, since everyone finds 4-5 songs he considers "useless crap". VL as they released it for me is disappointing but my own version which includes also some b-sides is nearly a treat and surely not worse than most of their other albums. So I think they didnt lost their guts and their balls, the problem is the amount of songs they have and that they dont seem to care anymore what to leave in and what to leave out.

From the Somerset Live article:

"Earlier this year Rodney was contacted by Coda Publishing Ltd to ask if his image could be used on a limited edition bronze vinyl collector's anthology featuring rare performances from the live broadcasts recorded in America during the Brian Jones era."

So, not a new album.

"It's different" means... he can't remember how they sound in the studio because it's been 300 @#$%& years since they did a record!

I agree HMS stick with 37-45 minutes of great material. I gave ABB a listen today and agree it could have been great with proper streamlining. The "keep 'em wanting more" method should be employed, as released just too redundant. I say once again We Don't Wanna Go Home should have been included.

Cat dragged in

Yes, you and several others can keep saying that, about this and Under The Radar. To keep saying it will not make it happen, as best as I can tell.
