"Goats Head Soup is the 11th British and 13th American studio album by The Rolling Stones, released in August 1973. It featured the song "Angie", which went to No. 1 as a single in the US and top 5 in the UK. The album contained 10 tracks, all written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and achieved number one chart positions in the UK, US and several other World markets".WIKIPEDIA

CRITICAL RECEPTION
At the time of release, Jagger said, “I really feel close to this album, and I really put all I had into it... I guess it comes across that I’m more into songs. It wasn’t as vague as the last album which kind of went on so long that I didn’t like some of the things. There’s more thought to this one. It was recorded all over the place over about two or three months. The tracks are much more varied than the last one. I didn’t want it to be just a bunch of rock songs.”

Critical reaction to the album was varied at the time. Bud Scoppa called the album "one of the year's richest musical experiences" in Rolling Stone, while Lester Bangs derided the effort in Cream, saying, "There is a sadness about the Stones now, because they amount to such an enormous 'So what?' The sadness comes when you measure not just one album, but the whole sense they're putting across now against what they once meant..."

Goats Head Soup is now generally considered to have marked the end of the Stones' "golden age", with Stephen Thomas Earlewine saying, "Sliding out of perhaps the greatest winning streak in rock history, the Stones slipped into decadence and rock star excess with Goats Head Soup... This is where the Stones' image began to eclipse their accomplishments, as Mick ascended to jet-setting celebrity and Keith slowly sunk deeper into addiction, and it's possible hearing them moving in both directions on Goats Head Soup, at times in the same song." Goats Head Soup has endured as a popular seller and has gone triple platinum in the United States". WIKIPEDIA
