I think Scared of Fear. This is incredibly close.

Setting Sun for now, as it was an immediate classic for me. Scared of Fear gets better every time I hear it, though.

It’s always a great sign of the quality of the album when it’s so hard to choose. Team Setting Sun for the beauty and devastation.

These might be my top 2 on the album at the moment, but still an easy vote for Setting Sun

Setting Sun is my early favorite on Dark Matter.

Scared Of Fear is a great song, and my interest in it is still climbing. However, Setting Sun is already an all-time PJ favorite of mine. And, I can't believe I'm saying that at this stage of their game. It really is that great though.

Honestly I think the “setting sun” lyric in Scared Of Fear stands out more than in Setting Sun itself

Both of these songs didn't land hard for me on the first few listens, but Scared of Fear has definitely improved over time to get into my top 5 on the record. I like the first part of Setting Sun, but it loses me after that, so this is a pretty easy choice.
