Hi Ian .
I thought it was mentioned by a source somewhere in this 369 page thread that they had some leftovers dating back to Steel Wheels that they might be attempting to dust off and give a new coat of paint?
Is this incorrect? Whatever the case, nearly 15 years since a new albums of originals is quite unbelievable and even despicable...it better be GREAT!!!
Why is that dispicable?

The main difference between the two is [b
Trouble is a thousand times better of a song unless you base quality on streaming numbers.
That seems like a claim that must be backed up by data! Wherein does its greatness lie, and how is it calculated? Is it possible it's only two hundred times better a song ... or are you sure about the thousand times better? Alternatively, could it be that you just LIKE it more?

Though I did not dislike England's Lost at all, and to be wholly damned i might add: exspecially the version with the rapped interlude , I have to say that I don't believe anymore (have I ever? mmmh) that Mick's more open mind to new stuff is open enough that he can come up with really good "different" stuff.
So at this point Keith's narrower but more consistent retro attitude is the only life jacket we have to hope for a good new stones album if it will ever see the light of day.
crosseyed heart is the living proof of that, a good and in some parts brilliant old fashioned album

If you are right, @Hairball, why don't we already have two or three solo records instead???
I would prefer those over anything Don fu%&§$+ Was "produces".
He destroyed the recording Stones long ago, in my opinion.

What's "great"? If the standard is Sticky Fingers, we may be waiting a while.
No shit.
How many "truly" great, absolutely "A+," "perfect" songs have the Stones written in the past 40 years? Songs that have become warhorses and that will be what people 100 years from now think of when they think of the band? Zero? One?
And, now, with them in their 70's, we're hearing they'll wait till they come up with TEN of them before they release anything?
LOL
My guess is that they may have 40 somethings but that those 40 somethings just don't quite measure up ... to "Doom and Gloom" or "Oh No Not You Again" or even "England's Grip."

I've been suggesting that since page one of this thread almost three years ago...probably even longer than that!Quote

Nearly 15 years without a new album of originals, that's why.
Not sure what your point is with the Tattoo You reference, but if memory serves it came out only one year after Emotional Rescue.
And while it was made up of leftovers spanning several years, that's not the point...nearly 15 years without an album of originals is the point.

The point is... it could be really good! At this point, considering the time span since the last new album, what's the harm in going back to tracks from 1989?
HAHAHAHAHA!
Of course I understand. But... they've done it before, albeit nowhere near as long. Maybe the tracks are really good. Considering how they (MICK) choose what tracks to go on an LP... just as with a lot of previous albums, there are some most likely stellar tracks just turning to dust.

I agree and have never had a problem with them going deep and digging up nuggets from the past - in this case even as far back to Steel Wheels if that's what it takes to get it done.
And for your sake, maybe even a little further back with some leftovers from Dirty Work!

You say you have never had a problem with them "going deep and digging up nuggets from the past" but then say something that has zero to do with what you said.
I don't want shined turds.

Not all nuggets turn out to be diamonds, and with a bit of polishing maybe a shined turd would be better than nothing - at least they would have something new.

I've never known that "modern" production was better than "retro attitude" when the retro attitude is just making a record.
Which could mean that Jason Isbell's albums are "retro attitude" because he doesn't have drum looped sampled sounds on his albums? Because Mick did something modern - again, way past its initial surge in use - makes it automatically better?
Pure absurdity.
I get it it. The truth of the matter is, how is it used. Mick's 2 tracks, one being absolutely awful, the other being quite interesting and seemingly a bit of a nod to his snot nosed past, have an immediateness to them, yet Keith's album has a genuine warmth to it.
I like the option of hearing both... but Keith's albums revolve around musicianship where as Mick's don't.

Hopefully Don Was will give us another thought-provoking quote to ponder (lol),
but it'll probably be just more of the same old poop for the next few months... maybe even longer.

.. and in the meanwhile we can make good use of the time spotting further turd sculptures! Here's another lot, even with some on-the-run factor ...
