The Fear series initially started as a trilogy with "Witch Hunt" from Moving Pictures being the first in the series even though it was part 3. Next was "the Weapon" from Signals as part two then "the Enemy Within" as part three concluding the final part of the trilogy. Eventually there was a fourth song added which was "Freeze" from Vapor Trails.

I figure most on here know the first three so I won't include yt videos for them but here's "freeze" for those who don't know that one.

Witch Hunt. I have a sofa that likes to go outside, wrap itself around the red maple tree, and throw its cushions at the storage shed.

I love them all (particularly "Freeze"), but "The Enemy Within" is as perfect a song as any.

I went with Witch Hunt despite the fact that many seem to consider it the weakest song on MP. I love the synth part though.

"The Weapon" gets my vote as it's such a haunting song.

The Weapon.

And yes, Witch Hunt is by far the weakest song on MP.

Oooh... what a toughie!  I'll go for The Weapon

I never thought of it that way but like I said many seem to think so. I personally don't see how it's weaker than Vital Signs but everyone has their own opinion. VS has grown on me over time though.

I don't think "Witch Hunt" is "weak," but "Vital Signs" is definitely better.
