OutburnPeaches hasn't suffered from the sophomore slump one bit. [#23, p.96]
-
'Fatherfucker' is one motherfucker of an album.
-
Entertainment WeeklyNow grafting meaty guitars and ferocious singing onto her minimal electronic beats, she summons the very spirit of rock & roll. [26 Sep 2003, p.95]
-
UrbTakes her dirty white girlisms to an even more profound yet still salacious place. [Nov 2003, p.89]
-
More consistent and enjoyable than its predecessor.
-
It's filthy, low-budget fun that's still plenty fucked up, whether you're a first-timer or a hardcore Peaches fanatic.
-
Q MagazineThere is one glaring drawback: so taboo-shredding are her lyrics, and so brutal her music, that she probably won't achieve the clout to which she obviously aspires. [Oct 2003, p.99]
-
Under The RadarSome say electroclash. Wrong. This is rock and roll. [#5, p.103]
-
MojoA combination of fierce electro-clash, stabbing rock riffs, and the rudest raps on the planet. [Oct 2003, p.118]
-
UncutFatherfucker pillages Missy Elliott, Suicide and "Justify My Love"-era Madonna, and even outfoxes the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. [Oct 2003, p.126]
-
SpinPeaches seems to be having much more fun with her sleazy subject matter. [Nov 2003, p.116]
-
For reasons of quality, as well as the inevitable loss of the shock of the new, 'Fatherf*cker' isn't quite the album its predecessor, 'The Teaches Of Peaches', was.
-
The album largely treads the same brazen minimal-electro territory; and most of the dick/tits/cunt-centric songs will be familiar for anyone who's seen Peaches' girlie-show shows in full-frontal effect over the past couple years.
-
Alternative PressUnfortunately, the tinny stutters and retro keyboards... drag when they're not amped up on desire. [Dec 2003, p.158]
-
Peaches seems to intentionally drop the ball throughout Fatherfucker.
-
Ultimately this album is neither the triumph or the disaster that it could've been.
-
Quite a few tracks simultaneously lack subtlety and boldness, reverting to the kind of scatological shock bag you might expect from a third-rate performance artist.
-
Nearly all of Fatherfucker falls back into ostensibly bracing anthems that sound plain stupid in such abundance.
-
Where Teaches was brash, Fatherfucker is dim; where Teaches was shocking in its gender-bending, sexually charged language, Fatherfucker is bland, repetitive and obvious in its attempts to turn standard conventions upside down.
-
The beats on Fatherfucker are not only frustratingly simplistic, but the energy and surprising rhythmic complexity of the vocals on her debut are noticeably absent, too.
