Scream, Dracula, Scream!

Listening to the record, you feel like you are hearing a band hitting its stride, achieving exactly the sounds it wants. So the curious thing is that I feel strangely unsatisfied with the record. I'm not usually one to turn down pure pop pleasures and I can't argue with the pleasantness of the hooks, but these are hooks that don't bring me back for more.
