That gives me an idea! Maybe it's not the wall of sound but right the opposite?
OK, here we go: Breaking news! Stones to release experimental album: The Sound of Silence ...

(And if you heard it here first, there's something wrong with your ears ... )

I'm probably going to wait until they release a Deluxe version which will include three blank cd's!

As a matter of fact they're in the studio right now

You are not alone .. visiting iorr and rocksoff are ny break from reality and I do such a solid three times a day. Your information is more than welcomed it is extremely encouraged ... as well as your opinion.

All this negativity about them not being able to write anymore... them not getting along ... them not being able to produce quality product anymore is odd ... we are SUPPOSED to be fans. People get off more on complaining and griping about them (my only gripe was that they HADNT got down to biz and put it out not that it can't be good lol .. big difference).

I think their last three albums were very strong .. I loved them .. especially Voodoo Lounge and A Bigger Bang. They were not 110% perfect but I thought they were great and of the very best albums of their year of release. I'm not just saying that because I am a Stones fan either .. they were great releases IMO.

Rock on Rocky!

Well, I consider myself a fan of the Stones because of Gimme Shelter or Exile, because of Down the Road Apiece, Who's Driving Your Plane, Slave, or Heaven. Which gives me a reason to complain about Out Of Tears, Infamy, or Hold On To My Hat.

If a child shows you a drawing of a circle with a smiling face in it, you say "nice drawing", if it's Picasso, you'll say: "wait a minute, aren't you the guy who did Guerníca?". When McCartney came up with "Obladi-Oblada" John Lennon had a point when he said: "wait a minute, aren't you the guy who wrote Here There and Everywhere?". I mean, being a fan of a band means you have higher standards. That's not negativity, that's trying to be proud of the band you like. If Status Quo, Queen or Wet Wet Wet would have come out with Voodoo Lounge or ABB I wouldn't have said anything. But from the Stones, it's just sad.

I don't particularly enjoy slamming the Stones, but I'd like to put a bit perspective. I don't really blame them either. It's not just them, it's rock music in general. When I hear something by, say, Beyoncé (not particularly the sort of music I like) I am surprised by how new, how inventive, how different it is. It makes me think: wow, things have changed. In rock music, nothing has really made any dramatic change since the late 70s. I think Mick solo and Keith solo had more chance of doing something "different", than together. Maybe I am wrong. But looking at the past 30 years, I think my statement is not completely mistaken.

Now, I *do* recognize that it's not nice, and actually, yeah, a bit negative and "aguafiestas" to complain about a record that hasn't even come out yet. It might be great, God knows. Then again, from my point of view, this blind (sorry, seemingly blind) enthusiasm seems to sort of invite a bit of cold water, a bit of perspective occasionally. I can understand how annoying that is, but then it's easy to skip those posts, right?

Great post Matxil, but by the same token i agree with Ian in regard to thinking Voodoo Lounge is a very good album.
Its Ok and understandable to be negative, as the Stones set such a high bar for themselves as mentioned by Matxil, just as its equally Ok to be positive of course. The Stones still deliver the goods when they get round to delivering them, there is room for all points of view you on here, i would hate this place if it was one sided optimism ( as it is sometimes ) or if it were one sided negativity, ( very rare ) it's the Yin and Yang, its all part of the same, that's what keeps this place interesting.

Too much 'musical philosophy'...it's only r'n'r!! A new Stones album must be an event which we should welcome with much enthusiasm and positivity!

Last Stones album the majority were on the positive side was the Emmy winning, 2+ million selling, Blue & Lonesome.

I think some may believe that because the vocal minority clog up these threads with negativity (regardless of topic), they are somehow the majority.

The Mich Jagger interview with AP is saying this:

- Yes they are working on the new songs, and when Mick says "hope" he is in the "secrets" corner which means they are working on the new songs

- They might blend in 1-2 new songs from the EP (which is expected winter/spring) live next year, but no more, because this is a stadium tour

Sorry if I missed it in over 200 pages...has anyone discussed the possibility that a new album may drop as surprise release before the tour? I recall that U2 and Bowie (sans tour) pulled this stunt and younger acts (Beyonce, JayZ) are known to do so and generate buzz. Simply curious what people think...
