Great stuff - thanks for posting, Justin
I'll defer unbridled excitement on the "greatest stuff theyve done in decades"-style hype until I hear it, because they DO say this about every album ("Dirty Work" was described in advance by some people in the know as "the best album they've ever done") and its far too early to indicate how its going to actually turn out
But, in the meantime :

So true Gazza.
Initially I got a Woody reading the post, but then reality sunk in. Every release is supposed to be "great" according to the hype. The bottom line is that we will not know until it comes out.
BUT IT IS GOOD NEWS, AND I THINK THE BOYS STILL HAVE IT IN THEM TO DO IT IF THEY REALLY WANT TO. |

The three lines that stick out to me are,"Was describes the Stones' new music as considerably different from their recent releases","Mick and Keith are writing songs together in a collaborative fashion that probably hasn't been seen since the late '60s",and "I would say that long time fans of the Rolling Stones will be thrilled with these results."
I'm just reading between the lines here,but that sounds like we're looking at a throwback album with a classic Stones' feel. That can only be looked upon as a great thing. You are right Gazza that every Stones release is fawned upon in the months leading up to it's release. Often time the hype dosen't live up to the end results,but this time Mick and Keith are seemingly once again locked in the kitchen with each other. That can only be a good thing. In other words there won't be any Saint of Me type tracks where Keith will bow out because he refuses to work with the "Shit Brothers".
I'm hopeful,but more importantly I'm stoked to finally hear something official from the producer.
Patience is a bitch!

Fuck yeah people! I'm being optimistic. This COULD be the best Stones album since Some Girls. I'm being optimistic here like you all should be!
Maybe the Stones have put the towel in in trying to master the "pop" sound and have gone back to their roots and found what us fans and themselves really dig! No bullshit, "Balls to the wall" dirty rock. |

The album will be very strong IMO, I can see many fast numbers on this album. They wrote 40 songs so the album can be double or a single disk with 15-16 tunes plus many b-sides singles.
The best news of the year. |

Ah, don't forget, Soldatti. Keith told Penthouse that "Dirty Work," though "fragmented," was one of his favorite Stones albums. |

Wow Great news indeed. I think a few of us were concerned about the work ethics going on. Don Was says they are collaborating much more on this than before. That is what they need. Gazza commented that they would reunite after the new year and it seems like a go. Was mentions there is stuff that is different material than what you might expect from them but it is still in the great Stones tradition. Sounds interesting.

This IS good news guys. Remember, just one day ago we were all wondering and wondering and waiting for some sort of confirmation or official news. So put on a great smile and stop being the whizz-kid that doesn't believe in Santa Claus 
We won't know whether Don's statements are overrated or not until we get to hear the album - and he even admitted it himself they might mess around with the final result! But let's just wait and see!
As Riffhard said, to me the best news is that Keith and Mick are actually working TOGETHER and of course the fact that our Charlie is top form again.
Let's party It's great news!
(And it kind of reminds me of a Jacko tune... "I always feel like somebody's watching me..." They have eyes and ears everywhere... They read what we write... Oh wait, perhaps this is a persecution mania... Oh whatever ) |

Say rather, in the home studio that Mick had installed in an outside building that once was a garage at his french mansion. But the important part of course is that they are working together at last! |

The key to this album, is that it not get "slicked up" in the final production.; you know that time when the music's been recorded and Jagger is sitting behind the board screwing with the song, or when he goes back in to resing his vocals. in the infiancy stages i dont think theres ever been a bad stones record (for example, listen to mixed emotions before it got "slicked up," it really rocked hard.
Heres hoping that doesnt happen. another key is not putting too many songs on it; pick the 8-10 songs and go with that. also dont fall inot the variety trap, put what the boys do best on it- rock n roll |
