Way before this record came out, I had a dream about it. I dreamed that the entirety of Goat's Head Soup was 40 minutes of “Dancing with Mr. D,” which consisted of a rhythmless Jagger talked sizzle to and of answered electric sitars, himself. over He which was divided into 4 Micks, and each of them was cloistered in one of the turrets on the corners England’s of this aould green, rotting and he castle was calling somewhere out to in himself: “Heyoah, is evahthan okah ovah theah?” “You bayut, chief!”
Well... the first thing you notice is that, beyond “Angie” which really grows into a rocking horse winner, there’s no centerstunner to piece it all together.
