Review

Spin (10/01, p.134) - 7 out of 10 - "...Beatles flourishes and glam keyboard pop that suggests Elton John sans feathered headwear..."
Q (Summer/01, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The world's a better place. Especially as they channel their wry gripes against rich kids or celebrity into such cheery tunes..."
Uncut (9/01, p.98) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "...There is something distinctly unhinged about THE SWORD OF GOD....Entertaining..."
Magnet (9-10/01, p.107) - "...A wonderful album..."
CMJ (8/13/01, p.10) - "...Sticks tight to indie-pop...but it rollercoasters through every emotion, capturing them all confidently."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/01, p.116) - "...This is the true humanity at music's core..."
NME (Magazine) (8/18/01, p.47) - 7 out of 10 - "...A must for all Magnetic Fields fans....they represent the acme of counter-cultural cool....proper, semi-ironic pop music..."

Title Note

Quasi: Sam Coomes (vocals, various instruments); Janet Weiss (drums).

Additional personnel: Stanley Zappa (saxophone).

Includes liner notes by Sam Coomes.

On the fourth album by postmodern popsters Quasi, the duo of Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss and keyboardist/maestro Sam Coomes moves further away from its indie-rock roots towards a realization of a pure pop aesthetic (albeit a slightly twisted one). Thoug Coomes's keyboards are often distorted and his singing often colored by alt-rock urgency, the songs' harmonic and melodic development seem rooted in nothing so much as late-period Beatles. For her part, Weiss keeps Coomes's lofty ambitions grounded in rock-solid rhythm, dressed up by the occasional fillip. Despite a spell as Elliott Smith's touring band, Quasi is more likely to be embraced by the underground than the pop mainstream, which means that Coomes's potential status as the indie-rock Todd Rundgren will be limited to the cognoscenti who are hip enough to purchase THE SWORD OF GOD.
