Known as wishful thinking.
But I do hope for a reggae flavour though.

Nothing? I could not disagree more. 520 pages full of speculation based on smallest hints, hopefulness, anger, frustration, OT discussion... IORR at its very best.
Soon it will be all over. Once the album is released, there will a couple dozen pages of first over-praisal and big fiesta, but all of that will be soon reduced to collective disappointment (only some Hairball will be happy to point out how low the sales are) . And after a month the whole thing will be forgotten (like any new album by old catalogue artists). After a year or so, some posts by biggest diehards are shared discussing how the album rates against A BIGGER BANG. The rest couldn't care less.

I will respectfully disagree, Doxa. Where as you see what you've outlined, and view it positively, I view it as an overall negative. I love our discussions here on Tell Me, but not when it's baseless. We've been fed crumbs and the most scanty, barebones, meaningless soundbites and cliched interview responses. When BV hears something concrete, and shares it with us, we'll be in business. Until then...

520 pages of... nothing.
I have decided to boycott this thread until the day it becomes a ‘sticky’ and we therefore know that something is imminent: a new album. Will anyone join me?
So far, there’s literally no substance in these pages, whatsoever.

They should release single songs every six months.

We should all be Big Enough to admit it. As fans, it can be a Struggle to see how the last act plays out, especially since their cards are never really on the table. We shouldn't Take It So Hard since it's all just Slipping Away. Make No Mistake, this really finally is the Final Act. How I Wish we had another decade from them, but we don't. Yes, we all obsess over unimportant details, but It Means A Lot to us or we wouldn't be here.

From Mick way back in 2015 regarding a new album:
“It would be very nice and I’ve got a lot of new songs and songs I’ve written over the last couple of years.
I’ve done really good demos for all of them, which I would love to record. So, let’s hope so.”

Never seen this interview behind the "Hit the wall"-link before - and I'd rather preferred to keep it like that.
But, oh well, I now ask myself why Keith felt the need to put his colleagues' solo work down in such a dismissive way to promote his own "Crosseyed Heart" and glorify his own solo work in general. Sorry Keith, you behave like the snake in the grass here and not the class act you pretend to be.
No wonder they "hit the wall"!

Absolutely. Why Keith has to continue to bad mouth Mick's solo albums is stupid. Oh it's his way of lighting a fire. Piss off. It's just stupid. Teenage kind of stupid.

But nowadays people would rather listening via Streaming than buying the physical records to see whether they're any good - and Streaming doesn't generate much money ....

Still Keith seems to be more or less the only prominent person who talks about Jagger's solo stuff…

It is not difficult to understand why Keith was negative about any Jagger solo effort: He wanted the band to keep together. His number one priority was the band. Not some members solo efforts.

And to be fair, Keith was asked about Micks solo albums in the interview - he didn't just start spouting off about them, and he gave an honest answer. Not sure what else to expect from him - a lie?
The interviewer even egged Keith on a bit by stating he himself had never listened to Jagger’s solo albums. Keiths honest reply was “Nor have I. I’ll leave it at that.” Very simple, honest, and diplomatic.
On the other hand, I recall Mick being asked about some of Keith's solo material, and he dismissed it by saying "the drums are too loud" or something along those lines. Fair enough.
The fact is, they don't see eye to eye on many things, and it takes two to tango...clearly it's become dysfunctional, hence the reason they hit the wall and still haven't overcome it.

Well, if you managed to read the full interview you've linked to, there's a bit more than just a diplomatic "Oh, I never listened to them":
When asked about Jagger’s own solo material (the singer has released four solo albums), Richards said: “They had something to do with ego. He really had nothing to say.”
“What did he have, two albums? ‘She’s the Boss’ and ‘Primitive Cool’?” asked Richards. Jagger also released ‘Wandering Spirit’ in 1993 and ‘Goddess in the Doorway’ in 2001.
When the GQ journalist said he had never listened to Jagger’s solo albums, Richards replied: “Nor have I. I’ll leave it at that.”
The guitarist also said that he would never release an album for monetary gain and that creativity was the sole purpose behind his releases: “I never thought of making records as a way of being famous or making a statement. I just want to make good records with good musicians, to play with the best and learn.”
With a friend like that, you don't need enemies... Glorifying his own solo efforts by dismissing his partner's work - sorry, it just stinks.
