I'm not seeing a big new delay in the Jovi album. I don't understand WHY they had to sit on it, but the September release date isn't that far off from what Jon said then, especially if God Bless This Mess is released in July, which is what I believe Jon said in Austin.
Back on topic, RSO's album will get released when it gets released. As far as I can tell, the "time" spent on the album has been grossly exaggerated by ppl who read everything Ori posts on FB or Instagram as an official press release and assume that they've been working on the album with every musician or producer she makes reference to, which isn't necessarily the case, IMO. I don't think we can judge from that how much of their time has been dedicated to "the album". Some of the timelines I've seen ppl post on here go back as far as February 2014, less than 2 months after they met, ffs! Just because one or the other said they were "writing" doesn't necessarily mean they were working on an album. Maybe they just enjoy writing together.
I'm not sure what the rush is. Most of the ppl who are critical of how long it's taking are the same ones who don't seem to expect much from it anyway, so why do they care?
Not to overstate the obvious, but both albums will come out when the artists are ready to release them and we will either like them or we won't.

Absolutely both will come out in due time but it doesn't make it any less factual that Richie has been talking about being in the studio for the last release since 2013 with a redux of Aftermath and some new tracks. The timeline of meeting Orianthi and starting the album with her IS hazy, but it's all stemming from things he's telling the press
http://www.billboard.com/articles/co...-tour-at-radio for example.
It's not being critical, it's absolutely based on fact. I don't think it's over exaggeration that it's taken a while and switched hands a bunch, I just don't agree in the least to compare it to the band's record. It's absolutely an exaggeration and not apt to make at all. I'm falling into the category of wanting him to do well and not judging the thing until it comes out, but on the flip side it's not slamming him to note how many stages the album has gone through and wondering how many tracks were discarded,
