Even if an album doesn't score commercially, it still makes a statement about wanting to live and create in the Here and Now. Stevie and Mick don't seem to care about making such a statement. They back away from recording because of commercial reasons. That's the legacy the fans on the board here are referring to: the legacy of "If it doesn't fill our coffers, we won't bother doing it."

That’s why I was angry last year. But, I was told it really didn’t matter, it was still a good album. I saw this coming a mile away, so at least they got credible musicians this time out.

That's a polite way to put it -- that's how Lindsey put it the last two or three arena tours of classic rock hits. I don't think he believed much of it.

Neither do I. He was towing the company line and getting his bag of money. Just like he towed the line and said “it just felt like a duet album.”
