The double album idea was also around some 200 pages ago. Like, a Keith-dominated CD and a Mick-dominated CD. But it doesn't seem like they are interested in such an obvious compromise. They could have called it "Use Your Infusions I & II", though ...
Another two-album-solution: CD1: "No Filler", CD2: "No Filter". CD1: Only the truly totally real great stuff, all fillers being filtered out (might be a rather short CD, though ...). CD2: As the name says, no filter applied here, so this one preserves for posterity all the songs that didn't make the cut for CD1 ...

(More) seriously speaking, a double CD seems rather unlikely to me as well. Judging from what one hears/reads about the number of songs that have actually been (more or less) finished until now, it will rather be an EP (and with Ghost Town already released, maybe a short EP even).Quote

Well, it wasn’t told fuelled by which drugs. Considering their age there might have been slight changes over time … like, nowadays rather drugs that help with constipation or other digestive problems, or blood pressure or the like …
Probably processed, and also the drumsound is much more dry than what we are used to.Quote

Does Charlie actually play on Ghost Town, by the way? It sounds more like a drum computer
"Charlie Watts: Drums." - according to the Credits: Amazon picture , [www.Qobuz.com] - (i)-Button.
Maybe it's a bit 'electronically processed' - like partly Mick's voice (Vocoder).

Based on the way the nasty pandemic has been evolving with Delta, I'd say a Living in a Ghost Town PT. II would be an appropriate next single. Surely Mick could slap together some new lyrics (or use some unused leftover verses from the first version), and they must have some sort of backing track by now?. Or maybe dig out an oldie from the vaults and give it a new life w/new lyrics and overdubs ala Tattoo You.
Or even just an extended remix version of the original - something would be better than nothing...something with Keith, Mick, Charlie, and Ronnie...

Ghost Town was of course a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the pandemic. I wonder if the song would have made it to the album otherwise. But now they kinda have to add it
When I hear it now, it's a b-side at best. But what is fair to expect from a bunch of 75+ year olds who already recorded like 400+ songs. Most bands don't have the inspiration the write a quarter of that.

Hmm... The latest turn of this thread seems to be bashing "Living in A Ghost Town"...
I predict that the new album (if and when it will be released) will be a huge disappointment for many people, since I am afraid it is not going to be a new EXILE...

Ghost Town is great. Sure, it's Specials reminiscent, but how many artists are releasing Covid related songs? Last time I checked it was only the Stones, and Mick and Dave Grohl.

For some regular visitors on this thread the last good Stones song was Waiting On A Friend or something from Exile...but they want (demand) a new album at any cost, every day, waiting to bash it a couple of weeks/days after the release, just like any new song/album from the past years/decades.

A couple of things to be grateful for are that Micks solo singles Getta Grip and England Lost (and the useless remixes) will not be on a new Stones album.
