Outcast of Redwall is the one where the entire series jumped the shark. All the books after that descended into increasingly gormless, cash-grabbing self-parody, and I think it's directly connected to the failure of Jacques' moral imagination in this book.
That said, the seven books published before Outcast are great, and as an overarching series they hang together fairly well, even though they weren't planned that way.
