... there is nothing like the thrill of discovering an album sized photo of a goats head in a bowl of soup!

How could Goats Head Soup be anything short of stellar?
Remember, in its time it was the best album they'd put out since Exile On Main Street.

Still it's filled with some odd things, like Keith's jeans on the inside cover of STICKY FINGERS.
When people establish opinions on things that aren't fact, the rest can ring a bit hollow. And it rides the tide of 'after EXILE it sucks' when the reality is (was) it was.. after EXILE. Meaning, time was moving on. Live they still were on fire but also in the process of how they approached Jumpin' Jack Flash etc and they had "completed" what they did with EXILE, which dipped back to 1969. The Golden Apex. Whatever it can be called, EXILE was a bizarre exclamation point on BEGGARS, BLEED and FINGERS: those three LPs have more in common than EXILE has with any of them.
Mr D being a parody? What, they're supposed to imitate themselves? I highly doubt Mick and Keith talked about aping Sympathy For The Devil in a clever way. If Mick had written about European apples people might still find a way to say it was parody. I dunno. As time moves on and the more people that get into the Stones just listen to their albums out of the timeline context, why would anyone think such a thing now?
It's absurd and over thought.
