I'm pretty sure it's my favorite song on the album. The first couple times I listened to the CD, I skipped it because I was impatient to hear Scream Pt. 2 (my old favorite). But once I'd gone through the record a couple times and had become familiar enough with it, I began to pay a lot more attention. SFS was one of the songs I started to like that time around, along with Evil Urges, Highly Suspicious, Look At You and I'm Amazed, none of which I had really liked at first. Smokin' eventually emerged as the song I listened to the most.

I wish the production on this one was a little more rugged, a la at dawn style, but still a great song

Ehhh, very strong song and one of my favorites of EU.  That said, I do agree with the previous poster that it feels to overproduced for me.

Still good and do love the classic layering and buildup.  Was great the first time I heard it live. A timeless classic, however, I believe it is not.

I liked it a lot from the get-go, but its definitely my favorite on the album on this point

a few songs are close, but I think it is undoubtedly the most lyrical song on the album, and the music and progression of the song is just whipped cream on the apple pie
