I guess that "half an album of songs" are the songs that are more or less in the can and that everybody can agree on.
I can't really imagine that Mick might run out of songs or ideas for songs anytime soon (not so sure about Keith, so far as it's about songs that don't all sound the same).
I'll be happy with a 6-8 song LP at this point - without a boringly bad reggae cover.
Consider Mick's non-Stones work the past, oh, 18 years or so - really bad, overall. Throw in his horrible solo-Stones songs (Sweet Neo Con, Streets Of Love and a plethora of others going as far back as VOODOO LOUNGE, with some, like his Kenny Loggins wannabe song that was so bad that fortunately didn't get finished and on through what happened on BRIDGES TO BABYLON and the two horrible LICKS songs Keys To Your Love and Stealing Your Heart and his benign 2 solo songs from 2017) and suddenly Keith's 3 or 4 good ideas take some new weight to them.
If they could just collaborate, whittle down Mick's 20-40 ideas with Keith dictating what's good and Mick being adamant about what is good (and if it's Brown Sugar/Sway/etc kind of good then great)... and Keith adding his bits, then maybe there'd be something pretty good.
It's unfortunate that such a legacy has been watered down so severely since 1989 and was never given a chance to recover enough that a lot of people are pleased with the fact that they'll possibly do something. That is just sad. It's why BLUE AND LONESOME is so awesome - because they did something and it's pretty damn good - the only problem being it's not an original Stones LP.
Hell, a 6 to 8 track LP sounds perfect these days.

Yer killing me!!!
I keep a spreadsheet of what irritates you and gotdablouse. I cross-check it from time to time to make sure it's up-to-date and then use a pivot table to chart your similarities and differences. Even more fascinating is the one I built for Dandy and Rockman. Most people on IORR have a counterpart. I've paired Ian with Hairball and 35love with Chatoyancy. I've done this for 7 or 8 years now and have offered B.V. predictors of IORRian behavior so he can pre-plan periods of high maintenance.
Yes, I'm kidding. I just wanted to use "pre=plan" around GasLight on a Sunday morning and make him spit his coffee on his laptop again.

Do you recall the stages from 1989 until 2017?

Is it here, yet! I've been gone a few days. Is it the best since Exile? Did Bill come back? Does Mick T. guest star? Did Keith & Mick pow wow in Parrot wherever and write songs in each others noses? Yes?

Of course! How could you have missed it? My personal rating:
1) "Rough and Tough" -> a nice rocker, Ronnie does a good solo, lyrics a bit silly
2) "Selfish Me" -> a nice funky song, the rhythm is a bit too mechanical
3) "Late and lonely" -> A typical slow jazzy ballad by Keith. Could have been worked a bit more.
4) "Hot Lips" -> Another try to play reggae. Not really convincing.
5) "Sugar and Sweat" -> Mick Jagger is ready to dance. Great groove, but sounds a bit too much like Miss You
6) "Seven Sins" -> The most brilliant thing since Exile on Main Street, could this mean a re-born Stones? Keith is on fire and Mick is more energetic than ever
7) "Neon boogie" -> Wow, who would have known Ronnie could play the piano like that?
8) "Lights out" -> A fair ending of the album, sung by Keith.
Conclusion: not a bad album, a bit short.

I've enjoyed talking about this new studio album they've been working on, but it gets a bit old after a year and a half.
I think it's time they started working on a follow-up to another studio album.
That way, we'd have something to keep us talking about until 2020.

Side not about "gravitas" - it, officially, carries more weight if pronounced grahh (or glahh)-veee-tas, letting the s trail a bit. Grahv-ee-toss is just pathetic and sniffly.

Not bad, but that cover art! Isn't it just the worst? How could they???
Love Seven Sins! -- maybe they'll open their upcoming Tour of the Americas with that one.

This was some of your best writing so I'm not sure if it's best I not note or note not.
