Bryan Adams isn’t quite ready to reveal all the details of his new, Jeff Lynne-produced album, but he seems confident the results will be worth the wait.

ABC News Radio reports that Adams is readying an announcement regarding the new set for Aug. 10. In the meantime, he tells the network that this LP, which represents his first release of all-new material since 2008′s 11, is “one of the best records I’ve ever made, for sure.”

“Believe me, I’m so excited about this. I can’t wait for it to come out,” insisted Adams. “It’s up, it’s rocking, it sounds really retro … and I don’t care!”

Adams pointed to his busy touring schedule and home life as reasons for the lengthy layoff between collections of new songs, as well as his busy side career as a photographer. Perhaps more importantly, he says he prefers to take a “quality over quantity” approach to releasing records.

“It’s a lot of work to put a record together and it’s a lot of work to promote it,” said Adams. “So, I’d rather just really focus — even if I did one album this whole decade, that’s okay with me. I’m just really sort of happy making it as good as it can be.”

Adams’ enthusiasm for the Lynne-produced project was evident when he spoke with Ultimate Classic Rock last year. Saying he’d been a fan of the Electric Light Orchestra leader for years, he recounted his eagerness to join up in the studio — and suggested, even though they were only partway through at the time, that it would hold up against his best work.

“At the rate that I’m working with Jeff, this record we’re making together is going to be the best record I’ve ever made,” Adams told UCR. “I say that with great trepidation, because I know it’s not done yet. But so far, the six tracks that we’ve done, they’re just blinding!”

Bryan Adams Announces Title, Track Listing for New Jeff Lynne-Produced Album

Bryan Adams‘ long-awaited upcoming 13th album, produced by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra fame, will be titled Get Up. Due on Oct. 16 via UMe, the project was co-written with Adams’ long-time collaborator Jim Vallance and includes nine new songs – along with four acoustic bonus versions.

A complete track listing is below, along with confirmed tour dates in support of Get Up. Videos will be produced for both “You Belong To Me,” which is available instantly with pre-orders, and for “Brand New Day.” Actress Helena Bonham Carter will be featured in the latter.

“It came together quite organically, song by song, working with Jeff producing over the past couple of years whenever he had time,” Adams says in pre-release materials. “It was a great partnership as it gave me plenty of time to write the songs, most of which are a collaboration with Jim Vallance. We all worked primarily over the internet from Canada, Europe and L.A., sending demos and parts of songs until we got it right.”

Lynne, who has produced Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh and others, said he’s “always been a big fan of Bryan so getting to work with him was a great pleasure. Bryan would send me a demo across the internet, then I would play most of the instruments to make a finished backing track and send it back to him in England. There he would put the lead vocal on to the song and send it back to me in California – 5,400 miles apart! And it’s turned out to be a rockin’ album.”

Track listing for Bryan Adams’ ‘Get Up’:
“You Belong to Me”
“Go Down Rockin’”
“We Did It All”
“That’s Rock and Roll”
“Don’t Even Try”
“Do What Ya Gotta Do”

“Yesterday Was Just a Dream”
“Brand New Day”
“Don’t Even Try” – acoustic
“We Did It All” – acoustic
