"It would be nice to have a new album, but people don't like the new album when you play it on stage. They glumly look at you. 'OK, it will be over in a minute.' It's not a good excuse, but it's the truth and has to be said."
Mick Jagger, 2013
People don't like new songs and they glumly at you when these song are like 'Sweet Neo Con', 'Look what the cat...', 'Driving too fast', 'Suck on the Jugular', 'Keys to your love', 'Stealing my Heart', 'Let me down slow'...and all your solo stuff. This is the truth and has to be said.

It is obviously your subjective truth. It may very well be the subjective truth for a majority of IORR'ians. But it is not the subjective truth for everybody. It is not for me. You are not the spokesman for anybody.

Mick said that, yes, and he's right. But they haven't had a great single - ANYTHING - that's grabbed the attention of the public since Start Me Up.
UOTN got notoriety for being banned due to the video, not the song. Sure, the single got up to #9 on Billboard (Harlem Shuffle and Mixed Emotions got to #5 each, their last Top 10 singles) but nothing has grabbed the ear of the listening public since Start Me Up.
Perhaps if Mick was more concerned about coming up with great stuff - even tunes they think they should wipe as they did with SMU - rather then worrying about people thinking they're like The Beach Boys and still doing new albums back in the 1990s... he wouldn't say such a thing.
U2 have been playing SIX songs from SONGS OF INNOCENCE plus the single Invisible, which was from the SOI sessions anyway.
You either continue or, as Ian Astbury says about bands that don't record new music, “So many other acts are impotent … they’ve all fallen away into the Range Rover trailer park in Bel Air.”

You're not forgetting Saint Of Me now? I think that grabbed the audiences's attention. At least, they had to re-start it again and again on demand

I can't speak for the U2 fans but how do they react to the new songs? Is it underwhelming?

Saint Of Me did not grab the general listening public's attention. It got as high as 26 in the UK and 94 in the US.

A good rhetorical point. But the poster that addressed Mick Jagger as you (referring to his solo stuff, even all his solo stuff, as "your solo stuff" ), is not anybody's spokesman. If he claims to be, he thereby qualifies as an imposter.

The Rolling Stones really aren’t gathering any moss.
Guitarist Ronnie Wood says when the veteran British rockers go back into the studio next month – before embarking on a February-March tour of Latin America – they’ll do it with current music in mind. “(Singer) Mick (Jagger) always keeps a keen eye out of what’s going on,” said Wood, 68, in a Canadian exclusive chat with Postmedia Network.
“He’s always listening to new bands and keeping up with the modern way of thinking; injecting a little bit of that into our music. We’re going to go in before Christmas. We’re all looking forward to that. And then if that goes well we’ll carry on after South America.”

...How many stories!Music Bands makes new tunes, new records every three, four, five years or so...Simply it is their life, their passion, their attitude, their work...How many stupid excuses, how many hilarious alibi..."They would re-recording old studio albums or they would working on old outtakes of thirty o forty years ago..."After eleven years they don't be able to make a dozen of decent songs!?!Stranglers,AC/DC,U2,Deep Purple and so on do it...there is who makes big hits and who don't see their albums in the first 100 billboard position chart, so...What's the matter?!?Let come into a studio, record twelve strong songs and open the cage, man!

Can anyone inform (and forewarn) me on what the latest craze is in the contemporary Pop music scene?
Need to be prepared...
Glad to hear they're gonna try and get it together prior to Christmas - hopefully it 'goes well'!
