Way in the future if anyone bothers to become a fan of them and knows next to nothing about their touring, they'll see the gap from 2005 to 2016 and probably wonder... what the hell happened, and then see their last album 4, 5, however many years later... and do some math...

I think it's safe to say now there's not going to be a new Stones album in 2019.

In my opinion, that math, alas, has already been done. It's 38 years and counting since the Stones released anything of any musical or cultural consequence or anything which will be part of their legacy a hundred years from now. A new album should one eventually arrive will no doubt continue that 4-decade trend,

Great is a relative term. Will we get a new album in 2020? I believe we will. After that, there will be even more in the can to sift through, tinker with, and package. The Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger won't last forever, but they'll keep the cart on the track for a good while yet, I believe.

At least, it would be nice if it finally came out in 2020. As there were statements (if memory serves, by Mick?) that is would be "ecclectic", this could mean either very interesting or rather hotchpotch. I'm quite optimistic they won't release total crap. Whether it will outshine SF or EOMS is another question (although I wouldn't mind) but that doesn't seem necessary to me anyway. I'll be fine if it qualifies as decent.

They're very old men who lived hard much of their lives. Expecting a classic so late in the day seems pointless. I'll be quite content to like some of the songs enough to play them happily six months after they're released.

Take Crosseyed Heart, Blue and Lonesome, and two or three new Mick songs...put it all in a blender and voila - great new album.

Add a topping of studio recordings of I'll Go Crazy and Roll Over Beethoven (1970 arrangment) as tributes to James Brown and Chuck Berry and it could even be a fantastic new album.

OK, so now that that is settled, how do we let them know?
Crosseyed Heart has a very low average DR6. It is heavily compressed (loud) and sounds terrible to me.Quote

Crosseyed Heart has a vibe to it that would also suit the Stones well. (I think I said this already somewhere round this thread before? But so what ...). I also like the non-brickwalled sound. - Actually, there should be several new albums: a Mick-style modern(ist) album, a Keith-style album, a Ronnie-style album (yes, Ronnie too! The real fun-part would be a Charlie-style new album with the Stones making up for a big band ...

Who hit the brick wall, them or the obsessive fans who can't quit whining about a new album?

There will be an album next year if all goes as planned. Keith and Don Was aside, Ronnie and Charlie still played on "Gotta Get a Grip" and "England Lost." Word had it that there are a few similar sounding tracks among the titles Mick brought to the table this time around. Admittedly, Keith allegedly was working on adding to some of Mick's "new" songs something presumably more than just a descending melody line or an open G guitar riff. Time will tell. Hindsight, as they say, is 2020.

D'oh! Really? Even the (quasi-)acoustic numbers? You're destroying my illusions!
The CD is heavily compressed, the vinyl version is not.Quote

He must have gotten a flawed copy. This is NOT how it sounds.
