Im saying right now I think the whole group is on board for finishing the album in 2018 and then releasing it some time that year ...

Go back to how Keith used to answer questions about when an album is coming out. He'd say, "When it's done."

They more than likely have TONS of stuff they could revisit, it's just a matter of agreeing and/or compromising on their varying visions for the direction of the new album.

Cheers Ian, that's the hope - whether it's another covers album, an album made up of reworked tracks that date back 15 years or more (both of which Keith has suggested as a possibility), or maybe even an album of brand new originals. And whether it's in 2018 or 2019 (or beyond) is still anybody's guess at this point as there's no absolute timeline or deadline. With the UK tour on the horizon (hopefully), they have their work cut out for them. In the meantime, it's the Christmas Holidays and Keith is celebrating his birthday...maybe they'll get back at it come January?Quote

Maybe the thread should be re-titled again to "Another Stones studio album...when it's done".

Yes Ian we hold out hope for a good album...maybe even great!
Some will say it's great without even hearing it, some will write it off as another total waste of time without hearing it, while some of us are optimistic it could be something worthwhile. I'm being hopeful based on what Keith gave us with Crosseyed Heart, and what the Stones as a band delivered with the B&L blues covers. Just my personal perspective, but they've kind of been on a winning streak if you consider the best of what both of those two have to offer. Then again, who knows which direction this thing will end up going - hopefully not south as they say. In the meantime, loads and loads of Stones music to enjoy...already a lifetime supply no matter which era(s) you prefer.

Also, there is the fact that Jagger generally dislikes looking back.

I'm currently listening to Crosseyed and Lonesome...what is that you ask?
I've combined the best three tracks from B&L (Just Your Fool, Ride 'Em on Down, and Hate to See You Go) with Crosseyed Heart in it's entirety, and it makes for an excellent "Stones" album.
Along with that, I've been listening to the London Years, Between the Buttons, Tattoo You, and Vredenburg live bootleg.

Thanks Hairball. You just gave me a great idea. I'm going to combine my favorites from B&L, CH and dare I say add Gotta Get A Grip. Should be interesting.

I try to defend mick because he gets a bad rap so often but when he says”some different sounding songs” or “things you wouldn’t expect from the Stones”- I cringe.
I get that Keith just recycles the same thing but at least it sounds like The Rolling Stones.that substantial damage song cracks me up-he’s playing the middle section of if you can’t rock me and yelling over it but at least with work it could’ve turned into something. But mick,for fcks sake-I remember when Aerosmith made a song called get a grip and thinking”that’s a pretty cliche title.it was 1990.
Mick doesn’t get that the things he wants to do are being done better and with more authenticity by much younger people every day.that is just gonna fail anyway.
I think he’d find Keith would be willing to spend a lot more time with him if he did.

Unlikely next year, per Don Was. I asked him tonight at an event and he replied, "You probably won't see it in 2018." I didn't get the sense there was much progress or rush.

The band will try to get an album's worth of good songs to release, at least 15 songs are ready (except mixes) but not all the songs are that great according to some people, some GREAT songs in there but some UNEVEN stuff too, they're not so convinced so far.
13 years is a lot of time, the pressure must be very high to release something worth the wait, they don't want to release another Bigger Bang, 16-18 generic songs, they want something good this time.

Not sure if it was a 'brick' wall specifically...could have been drywall or a wood wall?
But whenever you mentioned that Rockman, I always thought you were referring to brickwalling the mix aka everything at the same loud volume .
Speaking of them hitting a wall though - I think it was Don Was who originally said that...or maybe Ronnie?
Hopefully they were able to put the wall back together again.
