The "recent" quotes from Don are nearly a year old when BLUE AND LONESOME had only been out for a couple months. ABC Radio is recycling comments to have a post-Grammy story. This isn't a state of the union address from Don in 2018.
you mean they're recycling comments because there is nothing new to report? It doesn't seem that much has changed.
Like this thread.
People have put in more hours since 2016 posting in this thread than the Stones themselves have put in recording the alleged "new album".
But regarding the Don Was quotes from that new/old interview, B&L happened the way it did because it was spontaneous, focused.
This new album, they approach more like a part-time job. The results will reflect the lack of focus, spontaneity, energy that went into the sessions for B&L and the best of their past releases. It will be an anthology of effort straining toward completion; it will feel like something they've been unsure of for years on end.
It's clear that after nearly a decade and a half of cruising on auto pilot playing the same chord structures to the same songs to the same fans, that when it comes to creating new music they're just not certain of how they feel they should express themselves.
This is perhaps the consequence of playing the same show for so many years: that a fresh new musical direction is a creative challenge they are no longer up for.

Makes sense.
The new album could be a hodgepodge affair that lacks cohesion and flow - a disjointed collection of traditional/classic vs. new/experimental. *(I've recycled that thought from a post I made several weeks ago ).
As for those of us who have put in more hours since 2016 posting in this thread than the Stones themselves have put in recording the alleged "new album" - to me that says alot about the passion and dedication some of us fans have for the Stones! And recycled comments or not, the thread will probably continue for as long as it takes the Stones to put out a new album of originals...or as long as IORR is in existence - whichever comes first.

Come on Ian, I said "it could be a hodgepodge affair that lacks cohesion and flow - a disjointed collection of traditional/classic vs. new/experimental" - I didn't say it was going to be, though I'm admittedly a bit skeptical.
I don't judge a book before I've read it, but an author's previous works could give some clues as to the quality of it. The last original tunes released as a band were the so so Doom and Gloom and One More Shot, but let's see how they follow those up. And to fill an entire album with new tunes is a bit more challenging than releasing two new tunes hidden on a greatest hits package. The bottom line is it could go either way at this point ...a great cohesive album, or an album that lacks cohesion and doesn't flow as a whole. When Keith says he want's "traditional/classic" and Mick says he wants "contemporary/experimental", it seems only natural to feel a bit skeptical.Quote

Until we hear it Ian - and hopefully sooner rather than later - obviously it's hard to make any judgements. We all have our differences in what we like as far as "recent" Stones - while you are confident it will be pretty good, I am a bit skeptical. And while you thought their last albums were all strong (last three), I feel they left alot to be desired, but to each his own. A Bigger Bang had too many songs according to most fans and as an album it didn't really flow well at all, yet they released it as is. While they might think something is great, that doesn't mean all of their fans will feel the same - ABB being a perfect example.
ps - what three albums are you referring to? Blue and Lonesome, ABB, and....was it Bridges that came before that?
Been so long, I can hardly remember anymore! Or are you talking specifically about original albums and going as far back as Vooodoo Lounge?

You mention sooner .. as if the album could come by summer Im guessing.

I don't truly count Blue & Lonesome as a 'studio' album although it was made in the studio. It is very special though .. that i must admit. A great treat.. really is.

No - by sooner I mean before this decade is over. Later would be 2020 and beyond.
Truthfully, at the rate it's going I predict sometime in 2019 at the earliest - maybe in the Spring and hopefully before the Fall - probably in the summer.

The alternative would be fans not looking forward to the release and refusing to post until the album was released.

If anything else, he could ask from Dylan when did he has last released an album of originals...

a magnet for fans to implode because those old men in their seventies aren't working as hard or as fast or as well as they darn well should be. You'd think the album was being made with crowd-funding by the way we carry on.

We wouldn't be carrying on at all if the Stones themselves wouldn't goad their fans by periodically bragging to the press of how many new tracks they have "in the can", or Keith patting himself on the back about his three new "killer riffs".
Why couldn't they just keep a lid on it and then talk about the new album when it's finally ready to be released?
So, I say, carry on with carrying on.

I agree we had another album's worth of tracks that would have made for a rather imbalanced compilation if packaged together. As for they would never decide to call it a day and then release the album because doing so is cheezy and generic, I would say never say never. Health and age and desire changes. The business is to sell. If they know they're stopping (and I'm speculating only), why wouldn't they do so? Because they would lose street cred? Because it isn't rock 'n' roll? It would be foolish to release the album and then fade away knowing it was all over. It's about maximizing impact.

There is no money in recording music. Sales are crap.
Best Buy to Pull CDs, Target Threatens to Pay Labels for CDs Only When Customers Buy Them
Can we at least start complaining about the band not playing any of the album on the 2020 tour?!Quote

One can only think who the f*ck is Carl Falk?
And then it dawned on me that his name had been mentioned a year or so ago - at least I think it's the same guy.
A quick look at wiki:
"(born 17 August 1980 in Stockholm), is a Swedish songwriter, record producer and musician and has worked with artists such as Demi Lovato,
One Direction, Nicki Minaj, Ellie Goulding, Madonna, Avicii, Ariana Grande and Jason Derulo. Since 2010 he has co-written and co-produced hits like
"What Makes You Beautiful", "One Thing", "Live While We're Young", "Kiss You" by One Direction and "Starships" and "Pound The Alarm" by Nicki Minaj"
Yes I think it's the same guy.
Talented guy no doubt, but I think there was a fear of Mick collaborating with him...could this be happening now?
If so, maybe more solo material from Mick...hope it's not for the new Stones album!!!
Anyhow, Mick looks good and happy all bundled up, and hardly a single hair out of place!
