So Ultimate Classic Rock calls Goat's Head Soup the Stones biggest letdown....I don't think so....I would nominate Satanic Majesties.

"Letdown"? An album that includes "Winter", "Heartbreaker", "Coming Down Again", "Silver Train", "Angie", "Star Star" and "100 years ago"? Gimme a break...

Someone who calls Goats Head Soup, Stones Most Biggest let down album, must be an idiot.
Seemingly Keith Richards called it a junky album.
I don't like @#$%& on the album, a bit "empty". The other songs sound quite ok to me, and the '73 live versions are realy great , imo.
I believe it was "junkie" and not "junky". A huge difference

According to the Oxford Dictionary both are possible as a noun: Junkie / Junky. I meant it as a noun.
Apart from that I don't always agree with Mr Richard's (verbal) musical opinions.

Are you saying that those songs are on par with Shine A Light, Let It Loose, Rocks Off, All Down The Line, Rip This Joint and Loving Cup?

Did he also spell it ? He's an American by now. And..he was the only junky at the time, so he was speaking for the entire band. A bit arrogant, imo.

But what really is "on par" with something else? Are those Exile-tracks you mention "on par" with Satisfaction, Paint It Black, JJF, BS, HTW, Gimme Shelter, Sympathy For The Devil, You Can't Always Get What You Want (just to mention a few)??? Would it mean that Exile was a letdown compared to previous efforts?
GHS is different, not what people were expecting from the Stones at the time - and I love it all the more for that. As a musician, you can't follow the same route endlessly without becoming all too repetetive at some point. For the Stones, this point obviously came after Exile. Consequently, they tried new angles, new sounds. It's just a natural development and no "letdown" at all.

Good question, but right now we're discussing whether GHS was a let down after Exile.
It was different all right, but wasn't that one of the reasons why it was considered a let down?
