Fatherf***er (Explicit)
About This Album
The acclaim and exposure Peaches received for her debut album, The Teaches of Peaches, definitely didn't inspire her to make her act more mainstream for her second album. If anything, from its title on down, Fatherfucker is even more explicit and outre. That Peaches is still trying new things and pushing the envelope should be a good thing; sometimes it is, but there's a limit to just how far sheer outrageousness will take her. In fact, Fatherfucker's most "outrageous" moments are its weakest: the album's opening track, "I Don't Give a ...," loops Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" while Peaches screams "I don't give a f*ck, I don't give a sh*t." It's an explosive introduction to the album, but not a particularly good one. Likewise, "Rock 'n' Roll" apes her debut's "Rock Show" with diminished results, and "Kick It," the duet between Peaches and Iggy Pop, should be more exciting than it actually it is (was "some people don't like my crotch" the best they could come up with?). These songs, along with the potty-grade sexuality of "Shake Yer Dix," could give the mistaken impression that Peaches is just rehashing her previous work with less creativity, but that's not entirely true.
