Title: Cassius album disappointing, same-sounding
Review: Cassius' "1999" is an upbeat, but disappointing and somewhat dull album. While "1999" does show signs of promise, this French group fails to live up to the hype. The album is essentially house music, with elements of funk and R&B -- very groove-oriented. But the songs often go nowhere and there's no defined form or structure to many of the tracks. If you're looking for a no-brainer, forgettable album, then "1999" is for you. It's obvious Cassius was "dreaming when they wrote this," but I can't forgive them for "going astray."
