    Mesmerising throughout, it's a beguiling and brilliant listen.

    Dracula is the sort of successful experiment that comes along too infrequently in modern pop music.

    Nurses aren't the undead, but Dracula has staying power. [Nov 2011, p.98]

    Dracula gurgles with slower, more experimental moments at times, but the brief drags are balanced out by funky hip-swingers and modern nuggets. [#82, p.59]

    Not one drop of Dracula is dance-friendly. In fact, it sounds just as disparate as the last Nurses effort.
