This oft-celebrated album comes off as more of a vanity project to these ears. At this point, the group was essentially a studio project, anyway. Mixing the group's material with comedian Stanley Unwin's monologues (the "Happiness Stan" story on the second side) seemed excessive enough on its' own, but even the music itself felt jittery, unfocused, and insulated from the sounds cut on the first two albums. Odgens', in this respect, stands apart from the rest of the Small Faces catalog.
