This album is great. Keep in mind, though, it only contains three tracks - two of which are on Odyssey Number Five. You'd be better off buying one of Powderfinger's full albums.

Like A Dog is definitely one of Powderfinger's best single records. It contains the solid rock hit Like A Dog, most people will know, from Odyssey Number Five. Following is the cover of the Psychadelic Furs song 'Love My Way'. This is one of Powderfinger's best ever b-sides. Well worth the listen. It takes the original version and turns it into another song pumping with strong rock rhythms, which has become a Powderfinger trademark of late. Last is Odyssey Number 2. This is a very different song; similar to Number 5 (seen on album of same name) and different to Odyssey Number 1 seen on the My Happiness Single. Instead of a straight-forward, catchy rock song the boys have concentrated on a piece featuring great harmonic and tone quality in voice. It comes out as an overall decent b-side.

For those who enjoyed Like A Dog, I recommend skipping this single and going straight to the album, Odyssey Number Five. I would recommend this especially to those who own the album already and are after more talent from Powderfinger.

People should know like a dog, kind of like an updated version of tail.

Love my way is an excellent cover worthy of being on the album itself.

Finally odyssey #3 is yet another good filler song, really should have been used on the album as fillers bewteen songs.

Overall better than the meter but worse than my happiness

This single is great. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because "Like a Dog" is probably the worst song off ON5 (not saying it's worse than the best Matchbox 20 song). Another "tiny tiny" reason is that "Love My Way" is a cover of the Psychedelic Furs which, of course, you can't say is an original tune, so minus one point. But hey, it's a great cover at that. Love the way the vocals sound on this. Geniuses at work I tell you. The second b-side, "Odyssey #2 (the Miseducation of Powderfinger)" is a great tune. I think they were referencing possibly to Lauryn Hill there, they are fans. This song is a great little ditty, with sparse guitars and drums with incredible harmonies. The lyrics are jumbled and lovely altogether. "Not like you just float up so high/Think the joke is on you this time/I just earned myself a goodbye. Hazy greet the day/I just got myself a luxury/Even now he will do better deeds/No matter when you look up you'll bring you luck/I am full of favors/down on top of me." Very hip.
