QuoteJackda I can't bear most of Mick's 75%+ songs (except BS, YCAGWYW, Doom and Gloom), but since I LOVE 90% of the others (Keith's work).... If you can't bear Mick's songs I am really sorry for you because the new album consists mostly of Mick's songs.

QuoteRip This AMAZING to me that people can't either read or believe something when said so by a key principle of the band. Just amazing. Yes, really amazing. If you give people exact quotes from Keith or Mick and they still won't believe it then nothing will convince them.

QuoteStoneage All in all it's great with a new album. Much better than another warhorse tour. But maybe we have a cancelled 2023 tour to thank for the album? No, they already had the album finished in March. A summer tour would have been independent from that.

QuoteGasLightStreet StonedRambler, what do you mean by "pre-written"? Because that literally means before being written. Artists show up to recording sessions with written songs (Mick with Saint Of Me), written riffs and licks (Mick with Brown Sugar and YCAGWYW, Keith with Gimme Shelter and Live With Me, for two examples by each), written phrasing or hooks (Keith with the rolling li

Quotekeefriffhards What Mick has wrote in recent years is substandard material not worthy of a Stones album. I'm really sorry for you keefriffhards because that means you can't enjoy much of the upcoming album since it's mostly Mick songs - it's a selection Andrew Watt chose of the over 100 demos Mick recorded over the last couple of years.

Quotegotdablouse Yes at this stage and with Keith apparently not actually writing songs anymore it's the best we can hope for, Keith liking Mick's ideas as selected by Andy Watt and working his a$$ off on them, editing, adding, playing great bass, etc...in theory in wouldn't deserve a writing credit but since anything written by either of them and recorded by the Stones is going to

QuoteMelBelli Yes: I have absolutely no problem believing that Keith subsumes his own ego in order to perpetuate the existence of the Stones, the thing that he loves more than anything in the world, including himself. Let me put that in other words - you think it's possible that Mick denied all of Keith's songs (and Keith going along with it) and that is the reason we mostly have Mic

QuoteMelBelli For all we know, Mick rejected Keith’s ideas during the off-and-on recording sessions from 2015 through 2019. Now that is one huge claim. I have never read that. Do you have any sources / quotes to proof that claim? QuoteMelBelli It very well may be the case that Hackney Diamonds is a mostly Mick album. All I’m saying is that no one — not you, not I — knows exactly why that

It's also worth noting that Mick saved his 100+ demos for the Stones album instead for a solo album. Keith could have also saved the Crosseyed Heart songs for the Stones but he didn't (except for "One More Shot"). Keith could have given those songs to the Stones but he decided against that. Amazing how much I have to defend Mick here for writing as much as he does and gi

Quotekeefriffhards So if everything is down to the will and determination of Jagger does that explain the 18 year absence of a Stones album, 18 years of slow minimal to non existent creativity ?? No, Jagger waited 18 years on the will and determination of Richards and now he decided to turn the best of his over 100 demos into an album. I'm glad Mick didn't wait any longer on Keith

Hackney looks certainly good on a small thumbnail in Spotify whereas really detailed and "full" covers like Exile don't work as good in small size. It's probably a factor that is being considered with new album cover designs.
