Its amazing seeing fans who should know better melting with excitement over a six-month quote as if it happened yesterday.

Was not from six months ago. Was shot in early May (May 2) ..
I dont think anyone is melting with excitement for anything.. if they are shame on them. There is no sign of a new record any time soon .. although one is certainly being worked on here and there and it is on a top priority for next year as a release ... (after No Filter of course).
It is almost August .. there will be no Rolling Stones album this fall (thats been obvious for a while) .. and there most likely will not be one this Winter. The Stones have shown absolutely no urgency in getting it done for this year and guess what.. We almost certainly will not see a record from them this year.
Is definitely on plans / and being worked on ... and hopefully will happen next year.. (the album is not yet finished anyway).

Its been in the works now, on and off, for about 21 months.
Seriously - how difficult can it be for a band who have not released an album of new material for 12 years - to come up with 10 or 12 decent new songs, considering there are three songwriters amongst them?
And its not as if expectations are sky-high at this point in their career either. They're in their mid 70s, culturally irrelevant (as is rock 'n' roll in general), the music industry is in terminal decline and their target audience is old and doesn't really care about new material anyway. And it doesnt have to be released to 'promote' or 'justify' a tour either. Those days ended over a decade ago.
Just put the fucker out and get it over with. If they dont, they run the risk of half of their audience dying before they release it
