Why does no one seem to like Dracula's Castle?

I have to agree with you only for the fact that the track's called "60 Miles An Hour". Surely if NO wanted to be cutting edge thay would have called it "NINETY miles an hour". Great track but conjurs up picture of grandad in the first lane of the M67.

It's not the worst thing I've ever heard. Then again, I tend to skip it 7 times out of 10.

its the name of the song.

its a bad song title. sounds daft.

Its not a great title but I do quite like the song. Listening to it now reminds me a little of Special. I like the backing vocals, albeit they are very slight. I like the melody of the verse but the chorus is a bit dull which shadows into the bridge.

I like the sequencers on this track just the song isn't the strongest. Even the lyrics are stronger than others the Barney has concocted. The bass isn't bad on it.

Its never going to be a hit but its not like that fucking "Liar" shite either.

:bag:

Because it is Barney's worst lyrics. Ever. Because NO are better than that. Because I can't believe it came from the same band that brought us; LWTUA, Truw Faith, Blue Monday, Round & Round, BLT, Confusion, WiM, Vanishing Point, etc.

Because they don't because they know better. Just because.It is shite. End of.

It is not that bad. Even if NO by numbers, the music works. The lyrics do excell in their daftness and the simple truth people fall in love.

As for the title. Lots of good Castles around worldwide. The couple of times that was through Disneyland, the haunted house ride was err, well timed by some couples on it.

Hiya Jenn! Hated this when WFTSC first came out,but Hooky's bass won me over!

ive always liked it when it comes on,nice record,but then again not enough to make me dig it out and play it. i seem to recall that AL JARVIS really loves it a lot

Three words sum up the answer, sorry.

Because it's shit

I think it may be the best track on on the album. Either that or the title track.

Before the album came out, and I was frantically searching the usual sites for a leaked copy, I kept getting fakes. Then I got Dracula's Castle or Minidisc or whatever the title of it was...and I knew about five seconds that this was the real deal. This song is just classic New Order. It's first song in a long time that has the BLT/Technique sound. In fact, it may be the only song since then.

Too bad they ruined its chance for popularity with the awful title.

It is a very good tune...the lyrics are weird as usual but the score is very innovative... I want to hear this tune live at least once...then again...Hardcore fans here don't seem to agree on this...

don't understand the bad vibes about this one..

60 MPH is wussy in speed. It's also a wussy song.

M o n t y ! The man w/ the ever changin' groovy avatars and an authority of coastlines maybe with the occasional Castle ?! Hoping that the job etc.s are going well.

To this thread - Listened to class Monaco's WDYWFM and Sweet Lips, Shine - Someone Who Needs Me and heard a similar theme. of having your heart taken few questions.

Everyone finds Jetstream naff

I don't; then again, that's just me. In fact, I'm listening to it right now. As for DC, I think it's an OK little tune. I certainly don't hate it.

The title was inspired by the name / location of the recording studio (I think I read this somewhere on NOOL once)...

Seem's a good title; Vampires of Love, Broken, Empty Hearts and all that kind of imagery?

Good intro but it's all downhill after that
