    "A Criminal Mind" in one of my all-time favourite songs, regardless of times/genres/styles! I listen to it as often as I can! I only wish that more of his material was as dark & eerie as this gem! Don't get me wrong, the rest of the album is good but... nothing beats the Criminal! "Ask one who's kown me, if I'm really so bad - I AM!
