I don't know. I am trying to wait for the album to present me the song as part of that album. I do not want the experience of the album reduced by featuring a song already known to me.

Dependent on popularity for new album, possibly / hopefully touring the album to a large extent, like they did with some studio albums in the past. Playing many songs from it on every show. Necessarily then letting some warhorses remain unused, varying from show to show which warhorses.Then 'new era' will/would be a fully warranted term.

Apparently, the surviving Rolling Stones have during some years been motivated to make another studio album. Based on that fact, I for one, but it seems that I am not alone, want more than anything else Rolling Stones related to receive a Rolling Stones studio album of songs and music out of song ideas from largely the latest decade. I have to admit, the wait has been so long that I have n

Addressed to your post immediately above, Doxa. For long I thought that the "inspired phase" expired with UNDERCOVER. And I have gone on again and again about the reception to that album as a fatal moment for the studio career by the Stones. On several occasions repeated myself about the difficult context they were confronted by etc, etc. And then reforming from almost breakdown of t

(Written before I saw the post preceding this.) Yes, thank you, Doxa! In short, what I was on about, was that the mixed components of what drove them during those distant years, were much more to rely on for creation of new music than a one-sided ideal wish with the two of them now suddenly to do great music, but without outward pressures. Because now they are completely out of context wit

I for one will make clear that I do not like such a kind of predomimately negative voting down and out among Rolling Stones albums. So much more because I often represent a minority outlook on Stones albums. Most of all, because I don't like any albums of theirs to be eliminated. They are not equally good. However, they are often difficult to rank among and to be consistent about. That i
