Telepath is another tune to listen to Wrath Of God and Sad Eyes.
 could be from a 1980’s Depeche Mode or  for the first 30 seconds at least. And finally the innovation continues with Transgender, Violent Youth and Child I Will Hurt You – it’s a seminal album. Surely I can’t praise every single one of the tracks.
