If you haven't heard "Free Fallin'", it's quite likely that you "have been on Mars for the last [two] decade[s], in a cave with [your] eyes shut and [your] fingers in [your] ears" (first person to name the quote gets a free attaboy), and not without good reason. It's an eternally catchy, while maintaining its credibility. It also presents the opportunity for guys to try and sing along and then embarrassedly give up after their voices crack trying to sing the chorus.

"Yer So Bad," despite being built a very similar chorus to "I Won't Back Down," stands out as the other great track on this album, with my favourite part being the ukulele in the second half of the chorus.

These two tracks aside, Full Moon Fever is okay collection of music that doesn't live up to its very strong opening.
