Exiles was a big hit right off the bat. Just saying...

1. The material should be significant
A great rule, indeed. One cannot help but wish they might've applied it to their last 6 or 7 records.
I doubt they set out to make poor records, they are probably too close to the music they create to know how it will be received until it is received , and even then it takes time. Exile had negative reviews, it took a few years for it to get the acclaim it deserved.
I actually thought the last 6 albums were pretty good as it happens, its just that folks on IORR are hard to please

Of course they tried to make good records--why would they bother otherwise?
Regarding the quality of those efforts: I take my cue from the band. Since they ignore those records in their live sets, I feel free to ignore them, too!
But perhaps you're right; perhaps the critical tide will turn and a consensus will emerge ... one in which Bridges to Babylon eclipses Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street!

As amazing as EOMS was (it was the first record I'd bought the day it came out) and as incredible as the 72 tour was (my first live experience of The Stones), it was also, at least in my neck of the woods, at my high school, the beginning of the long slow decline for the band. They were supplanted that spring and summer by Led Zeppelin, who for most 16- and 17-year-olds I knew, were the biggest band in the world.
Exile was of course the ultimate 'deep cuts' album and it rewarded hundreds of stoned headphone sessions with new revelations at nearly every listen. But it yielded nothing as culturally relevant or as musically pervasive as their earlier hits. A year before, you heard "Brown Sugar" everywhere; "Tumbling Dice," while a great track, just did not have that level of instant identifiability. You had to work to truly "get" Exile, and those of us who did at the time wore it as a badge of honor.

Actually EOMS was not very critically acclaimed at release. Very mixed reviews. See Rolling Stone review-[www.google.com]

Blah-blah-blah. The article sounds like copy-paste from old one.

Then next year the band will bring out a new studio record to coincide with the end of their forthcoming European tour.

FYI dear author, the forthcoming European tour will start this year (2017) just in a few months

A new album early next year sounds great to me! I wonder what the live compilation might be.

Band to bring out new album next year to coincide with end of European tour

It's only rock ’n roll – but a new Rolling Stones studio album is set to make the band a whopping £2million.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, both 73, have been in recording studios in London and New York recently, and label Universal has renewed their contract for a new album.
Along with Ronnie Wood, 70, and Charlie Watts, 76, they will release a live compilation album around Christmas.
Then next year the band will bring out a new studio record to coincide with the end of their forthcoming European tour.
Yesterday a music insider said: ‘Both Mick and Keith would rather be carried off stage in a coffin than give up their great love – writing and making music.
‘They were experimenting in the studio earlier this year, and everything just gelled. They ended up with around 15 tracks which they have cut down to album-length, and when the label execs heard it they were thrilled.
‘Age is no barrier to brilliant music, and there is no doubt the new stuff will sell.’ Richards was spotted in the studio in Manhattan on Thursday tinkering with the latest sound, while Jagger had been spotted making music a few weeks earlier.
The Stones’ last album Blue & Lonesome – their first studio record for more than a decade – went straight to number one on its release in December last year. And their latest tour, which begins in Hamburg in September, sold out in minutes.
Earlier this week Sir Paul McCartney seemed to take a dig at the Stones, suggesting audiences were not interested in new material.The former Beatle said fans only wanted to hear ‘Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Woman – don’t just do the new stuff’.

the only positive thing about these news seems to me: Releasing a live complilation album means that the tracks won't come from a single show. Thus it's not gonna be Fonda, but maybe a bunch of songs recorded live during the upcoming No Filter tour. That means they have to pull out some rare songs since the can't fill a live album only with tracks they already released on other live albums.

I believe it will be the same as always that we all have on a gazillion live releases over the years, I'll just wait on the new album if it comes?
