The problem is the more you wait the "better" it has to be...until the mid 80s when they put them out like clockwork you could always look forward to the next one if you didn't like the latest one, now...Same "problem" for pretty much all the big names. Wonder who started that trend and if it was ever "analyzed".

I don’t think they give a F about the Grammy.

There is a difference between
Sales
and an American Grammy award at this stage in their career.
Especially after last night.
OF COURSE they want sales. OF COURSE you want appreciation from genuine people that they like/ enjoy/ are moved by your artistic work.

Interesting Rocky, but rest assured I was not equating Crosseyed Heart with Time Out of Mind (or Love and Theft) as Dylan is no doubt in a league of his own, and something else altogether as you say. My point - and this is just my opinion - is that the music and lyrics Keith has produced in these latter years is less cringeworthy than what Mick has come up with and delivered. While Keith was recording a stripped down album in an old school style, Mick is recording singles with drum loops and samples. While Keith writes about the ups and downs of love and life(Illusion, Just a Gift, Amnesia, et al) Mick is jumping on the latest political bandwagon with Getta Grip and England Lost. While Keith is recording a cover of an ancient Lead Belly tune, Mick is hiring the young hot shot Skepta for his latest single. While Keith was honoring Mary Clayton at the Apollo, Mick was on stage with Taylor Swift. While Keith is currently collaborating with soul singer Bettye LaVette, Mick was collaborating with the likes of Will.I.Am and Superheavy. It's great that Mick still strives to be seen as 'experimental' and 'edgy' and 'contemporary', but most of the time the results leave a foul taste for those us who would rather hear something a bit more subtle from a 74 year old Great Grandfather, and ultimately it all makes him seem out of touch imo.

I'm reminded of the quote from Keith around the time the covers album was released regarding what direction the new album of originals will go.
Q: Don Was told me that Mick‘s got 40 new songs.
“Being prolific dont mean shit. I‘ve got three songs and they‘re dynamite. I don‘t want to make any decisions about this until this record comes out, because I think it might radically change Mick‘s attitude; it might change mine. I want to see the fallout from this record before I decide wheteher I want to record 40 of Mick‘s songs or whether he wants to sit down with me and record some songs together. That‘s my thing. That‘s my ball there. I‘ve always got a few songs on the back burner and so does Mick - he writes a lot. I don‘t. I tend to concentrate on two or three really interesting riffs or ideas, rather than being prolific“.
So now that the blues covers has sold millions and won a Grammy (and considering the failure of Mick's Getta Grip single), is Keith going to try and steer the ship in the direction he thinks is best for the band?
Could this win disrupt any work they might have already worked on, or have them second guess some of it with Keith holding his ground? Gotta give Keith credit for steering the band back to the blues when all else failed in the studio a couple of years ago as the results speak for themselves, but the main question now is, where do they go from here? All in all, this could all be a major positive - even if they start from scratch and we have to wait another couple of years.

Enough with the cover albums, it's time for a traditional original Rolling Stones album.....
Yeah I suppose so...thirteen years is a lifetime in rock and roll years - the Beatles entire recording career was less than a decade.
To put it in perspective:
Neil Young has released over 10 original albums since A Bigger Bang was released.
Bob Dylan has released three albums of originals, and several covers albums - including a Christmas album!
So yeah, it's about time the Stones add something original to their catalog, but if they can't get it together a Plan B of blues covers pt II would work just as well imo.

Yet Keith took the time to send out a tweet:
"Fantastic! It's about F*cking time!"
Surely he must be pleased with the win.

This is unintentionally a persuasive argument in favor of the Stones keeping their powder dry.

You think Keith writes his own tweets?

I'm sure no one will believe this but I'm gonna lay it out there anyway :
Last week I was sipping Tequila at the pool in Hotel California in Todos Santos Mexico when a chap sat down near me and with little else to do we started chatting. Long story short it turns out he is close to the recording process of the new Stones record (engineer or studio technician or something) and he goes in to saying how incredible the new songs are, "classic drug fueled Stones" I believe he described them, "right up there with Sticky Fingers or Exile". He also mentioned something about Keith not letting Mick inject any of his silly "techno pop rubbish" onto what may very well be their last studio effort.
Anyway, make of it what you will,even though some good Mexican blow, weed and Tequila were present during the conversation.

Yep, I am going to bite again at your callousness.
Have they had cancer like Charlie and Ronnie, had a girlfriend commit suicide like Mick, had brain surgery like Keith? AND so therefore, appreciate their time with their loved ones even more?

Meanwhile, revisiting the early years...BBC boots, etc. - SO much good stuff to enjoy.
All of the hoping, waiting, and wanting something new is fine and dandy, but the massive amount of recording they've already produced is more than enough "satisfaction".
When it comes down to it, if they never release another recorded note from here on out, I won't be crying.
Then again, aside from that crazy story above, any news regarding the progress of the new album?

Nobody needs a full album with things like DAG or OMS, let alone GGAG/EL. But it could as well be better.
