Quotetreaclefingers QuoteDoxa Quotedrewmaster QuoteDoxa Anyway, the arguments for quantity over quality seems to derive from the band, at least in the case of A BIGGER BANG. You could also make the mathematical argument that releasing an album of 14-16 songs is more likely to include songs that an individual listener is going to really like, versus an album of just 10 songs.

No. The only official "announcement" I hope for is the release of a new single for the summer.

QuoteDoxa BV's sad news about the tour not happening this year is unfortunately relevant in this thread as well. There've been rumours and assumptions that the release of the new album is linked to the tour. All I can is hope that the link is not a necessary one. That they would release the album without a tour this year. But to be frank, the best scenario I can see is a fall/christm

And as for what Steven may or may not have heard, I suppose "quite good" will be good enough at this point, and I guess we can be

Quoterolling1us QuoteDoxa Quoterbk Seventeen songs is TOO MANY! You'd think they'd have learned that with Voodoo and A Bigger Bang. 4-5 of the seventeen won't be nearly as good and will drag down the whole effort. But shouldn't we first hear the album in order to say if there are too many songs or not... - Doxa Completely agree with you Yes - a very good idea...

QuoteHairball Hope Keith sings lead on a song (or two) on the new album. One of the reasons the Blue and Lonesome covers album suffered was because there were no vocals from Keith - not even backup vocals. I hope not. One of the qualities on Blue an Lonesome was that there were no Kieth-vocal tracks. Such a relief.

Just saw Peter Jackson's "Get Back". The restauration was marvelous and there were good moments and it's was kind surprising to see how young - and smiling Lennon often looked.

It's a good cover, but doesn't top the original. I think it's a too fast from the start and looses too much of the dynamic of the song. And of course I prefer Mick's voice, but I think it's nice for a change to hear it sung by a female voice - and I quite like the instrumentation.

QuoteHairball "The show could run for five years..." I can see the Stones doing this eventually... Oh yeah - that might be why the shows from 1972 have been held back... Now we can attend all the shows most of us were too young too see. The sixties will back - and the seventies. We will have El Mocambo in 3D - and lots of beer to the critic section.
