Quasi, the duo comprised of Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss and Elliott Smith bassist Sam Coomes, returns after a lengthy absence with their fifth outing overall, and their Touch & Go debut. After such a lengthy break, Quasi reveal how much they've grown as a collective. Make no mistake, The Sword of God is as zany - or more so - than any of the band's previous efforts.

Quasi has always been dear to me because they're one of the few bands that manages to lay the irony on thick without being too dark or pretentious. On Featuring "Birds", the juxtaposition of Sam Coomes' massive pop hooks and his bleak lyrical outlook seemed to blend together perfectly- like a goofy-faced clown telling you that have lung cancer. Except even more perfect. The greatest part about Featuring "Birds" was that even if Coomes had been singing about happy elves prancing through fields of tall, green grass, the album would have rocked. If some of the new directions explored on The Sword of God had really great songs behind them, the resulting album could have been fantastic. But in keeping with the band's general outlook on life, their records just keep getting worse. Where's the butter in that?

Fundamentally, ‘The Sword Of God’ is a record that fumbles desperately at the door of greatness but can’t quite get the key to fit. It tries hard, it’s got some excellent songs on it, but it’s just slightly too smarmy for its own good. A must for all Magnetic Fields fans, but as good as this is, Quasi remain capable of better.
