  1. Ultimately this album is neither the triumph or the disaster that it could've been.

    Unfortunately, the tinny stutters and retro keyboards... drag when they're not amped up on desire. [Dec 2003, p.158]
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Peaches seems to intentionally drop the ball throughout Fatherfucker.
  6. 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.
  7. Nearly all of Fatherfucker falls back into ostensibly bracing anthems that sound plain stupid in such abundance.
