    Some might prefer she stick with her usual skewering of gender roles, but that genuine anger lends a new seriousness and realness to even her silliest verses.

    Rub still happily rubs listeners the wrong-right way with crass, curt tunes. [No. 125, p.61]

    These songs offer a smart inversion of the usual gender roles in mainstream music, all set to a propulsive, bass-heavy backdrop. [Oct 2015, p.81]

    Rub reboots the elements that made The Teaches Of Peaches the essential electroclash album back in 2000. [Nov 2015, p.113]

    Rub is an album of well-sheened extremes.

    Five albums into her career, Peaches is as dirty as she ever was, and shows no sign of calming down.

    Rub is fun for a few listens, but it's hard to really fall in love with.

    Whether it's meant to be or not, if anything, Rub is absolutely hilarious. "Put your dick in the air, dick, dick, dick" "balls, dick, twoWhether it's meant to be or not, if anything, Rub is absolutely hilarious. "Put your dick in the air, dick, dick, dick" "balls, dick, two balls and one dick" are the random aspects of the crude, loud mouth sexual nature of this album, and as of this track (Dick in the Air), Peaches is simply unenthusiastic and bland.
    Rub is electronically wild and cool and compelling, but lyrically and vocally impossible to take seriously.
