The New Album Thread

Of course the past cannot be changed but I feel sometimes like she came back too late. How many more productive years does this band realistically have? Not too many.

Yes it is a bit depressing- but still very exciting too. We know for sure there'll at least be another album. That would no doubt at least be followed by another box-set retrospective at some point.
I wonder whether the idea of it being 'kind of a beautiful way to wrap up this last act' isn't just another ruse to lure Stevie's participation. Lindsey himself certainly seems happy to be working in the confines of the band now. I think he would like things to continue indefinitely.
