I've lost all hope. I've sat in the same room behind the same laptop since 2005 waiting and waiting and waiting for a new album. I hate Mick. I love CROSSEYED HEART. Since it only took 23 years to make CROSSEYED HEART, naturally I'm much more upset that it's already taken 18 years to make the new album and I don't believe people that say it's done because it's more fun to say "hit the wall" over and over. I haven't eaten in 18 years. I haven't slept in 18 years. I just post at IORR and then agree with myself when I log in under a different name.

I always find the reactions interesting. I generally make it clear what my personal thoughts are, hoping for something like 1990s Stones, but not setting expectations particularly high. I am, like most, looking forward to the album.
The other posts are meant to exaggerate the extremes. I rarely take sides since I've never wanted one view only to prevail. Hairball, right or wrong, I generally read his or her posts with a great deal of humor and am amused when others take it so seriously. Not a troll, but in my view, definitely a jester. keefriffhards often has fluctuating opinions, which I also empathize with, that's why I quoted him/her twice from posts separated by one day which seemed to be mirror opposites. No conspiracy, I always find the paranoia about multiple screen names amusing since it doesn't matter and Bjornulf can determine if it's the same IP address if he really cared. Mainly I just find it fun to parody the extremes of opinions that lead to dust-ups. I might tease, but I mean well. I like reading what other fans think and enjoy the humor (intended or not) of the site in particular.

Basically to cut a long story short you love Jagger solo stuff,

Sometimes I think it’s a good idea to be reminded written dialogue can be misunderstood. That mixed in with some devious intentions cause problems on all forums. Often my feelings get hurt, but then I’m reminded to put my big boy pants on

I like "Just Another Night," most of PRIMITIVE COOL, all of WANDERING SPIRIT, "Hideaway," "Too Far Gone," and "Old Habits Die Hard." The rest I do not like at all or it simply doesn't register with me. And CROSSEYED HEART is my least favorite of Keith's three efforts.

So the fanbase conclusion here is that there is absolutely no need for a new album with original material since their production of new material has been so prolific during the last two decades;
spoiling us with new remakes of old songs and new blues covers? And asking for a new album is really the height of insolence and ignorance? Did I get it right?

No. There are:[*] People who are eager to get a new album of the Stones because there might be something good on it
Some people fall in more than one category. I am sure I forgotten a few options too.
[*] People who think the Stones are taking too long and owe them a new album, fast!
[*] People who think the Stones owe nobody nothing
[*] People think the Stones are great, whatever happens
[*] People who think the Stones made a number of great albums a long time ago, but would be better off now doing their solo-work instead of bringing out yet another mediocre album

To be honest Micks solo albums have grown on me, in recent years i re- visited them and there's definitely some great stuff on some of them.
Took me years to get over Mick going solo in the 80s, i found it embarrassing for him and at the same time felt sorry for the Stones.
Life goes on and Keith established himself as a solo artist so it's all good.
You are right, i do run hot and cold with this band but with Mick touring in the manner he does in his 70's he continues to blow my mind, no one on earth can do what he does at his age, maybe he and Keith have one more trick left, something amazing, you never know with those two and of course Ronnie, it's not over until its over.

Perfect post, but on here the Stones can do no wrong, if you are impatient for a new album you are a hater.

The gradual change was The Stones went from being a band to being just Mick and Keith. As the two grew apart artistically, the band went from collaboration to compromise more often than not.
Collaboration and compromise are often closer than kissing cousins in music. I don't get your point.

If you had the same expectations of your parents/grandparents or other octogenarians as you do of the Rolling Stones...at this point you'd be cut out of their will.
Just sayin'...

Apparently very few people do whether serious or in jest. As Hairball has told me more than once, I've hit another wall.
