From Amazon.co.uk
Fret not, fans of filth, who worry Impeach My Bush will see saucy Canadian electro-punk Merrill Nisker shelving the politics of the bedroom and embracing political activism--a quick spin of self-explanatory tracks like "Two Guys (For Every Girl)" should quickly confirm the third Peaches full-length is just as foul-mouthed, depraved, and all-round sluttish as its predecessors. Further good news, however, comes with the realisation this is by some length the best Peaches album to date. The beats, in particular, are noticeably improved without losing that all-important gritty quality, particularly "Tent In Your Pants" and "Downtown" - a pair of tracks written with one Greg Kurstin, perhaps better known for his work with No Doubt pop queen Gwen Stefani. But there"s further collaborations, too. "Give 'er"--roughly speaking, the sound of PJ Harvey brawling with New York synth punks Suicide in a New York alleyway--features choppy riffing courtesy of Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme, while album stand-out "You Love It" boasts backing vocals and guitar from punk queen Joan Jett. Midway through "Slippery Dick" ("Toss freaker/Floss tweaker/Sauce leaker/Moss shrieker") you can't help but wonder how much mileage there is in talking dirty. Taken as a whole, though, Impeach My Bush is proof Peaches is still far from spent. --Louis Pattison
Album Description
Peaches is a phenomenon, a self-made, self-produced, DIY leader of the electro-punk movement and mistress of the original dirty lyrical classics. Unique with her minimal pumping beats and loved by true innovators and fans as diverse as Deborah Harry, Iggy Pop, Bjork, Lil' Kim, Kelis, Too Many DJs, M.I.A., and LCD Soundsystem, you'll be heartened to know she hasn't cleaned up her act on her new release. Guests on this record include Joan Jett and Josh Homme and Feist. "She's dirtier than most gansta rappers. She's a lip sync favorite among drag queens...She writes dance music that rockers will listen to and rock that disco queens will dance to" - Paper.

Solid Electro Beats with Cool Vocals; Sometimes Lyrics Lacking July 17, 2008
Eric Monse (New York City)
I've been into Peaches since her first album, which included some great tracks. Her earlier work tended to be a bit more hit or miss when it came to the music. It seemed like she was still finding her sound.
This album is solid all the way through in terms of music. The electro beats hit home on almost every track. Her vocals shift back and forth betweeen rapping/talking and singing at some points and it's a great balance.
My main criticism of this album is the lyrics. I feel like Peaches was a bit more intelligent about her sexuality earlier on. Somehow she managed to shock and mess with people without losing her witty edge.
The lyrics on this album don't seem as witty. She figured out her formula and got a bit lazy with it. She's more obvious and outspoken about what she's saying (i.e. "Two Guys For Every Girl") but she is also relying on overdone avenues of shock value, like the appropriately and lamely titled "Rock the Shocker." There were a couple of songs I deleted because the lyrics were kinda lame.
There's still a lot of great songs on this album to make it worthwhile, and there's no one out there like Peaches. It's certainly worth picking up.

Well, I can't honestly say I have the musical knowledge to analyze the quality of the peaches, but I can tell you how it makes me feel. Really good, you know, REALLY good. Nuff said.

I didn't know what to expect when I purchsed this CD. I heard Boys Wanna Be Her on the Henry Rollins Show and she somehow stole the show from Marilyn Manson's interview- but the CD was maybe 2 songs along the same lines, and the rest were synthetic club type samples with crazy lyrics. I did get quite a few good laughs out of the stuff she was saying. Very shock factor.
Best thing I've heard in a long time... May 12, 2007

I'm a relatively new convert to the Church of Peaches, as it were, but I can definitely tell you that after hearing this album, you will be too.
It's very hip-hop oriented, but Peaches puts a serious spin on a usual genre and makes it into a personally sexual, powerful, and oftentimes humourous climax.
Peaches is definitely a force to be reckoned with (and she's a cool musician, too).
Good not too clean fun!! May 12, 2007
Lloyd R. Stevenson (Melbourne Australia)
I like this album, even if it's not one of my usual genres. That may suggest I'm a little childish or adolescent or whatever but I don't care! The only reason I've only given it 3 stars is because 4 is for things really REALLY good and 5 is for extraordinary, but this is a big 3.
For me Peaches gives a feel like she's the evolution of the ground broken by people such as Madonna, women owning their sexuality and having and taking some control of it, empowerment. Is there're anything wrong with a woman being explicit about what they want? I reckon not.
It may be cheeky and some may find it confrontational or whatever but they're not normally people who are worth investing time or energy in. Those who don't enjoy a woman being a Woman are generally people who are more comfortable with a situation where a woman has her wings clipped, can't release her fire-breathing, lust driven, wild self. The people who would be challenged by this album are probably more comfortable in situations where a woman is controlled, forced to be compliant, where her fantasy self is crippled and she never gets to have her full self. I'd rather be in a world full of `Peaches people' than a world where repression, limitation, rape, domestic violence would be seen as `just an unfortunate reality in life'.
Peaches doesn't give the feel of lots of others who demanded their female selves, those who were beaten and trashed for their choices, often finishing up O.D.ing on the gear, living through the horrors of resisting `the norm' and all else that were the costs of wanting to have their entire selves. Hers is more a celebration of a sense of completeness as a sexual orgasmic free woman than the angst of the cost to want to be that. So, I'll sacrifice my male fantasies of a subservient, monogamous, compliant, female if it means there's more like Peaches, who can embrace their every part without having to sound like Janis (bless her soul!!) or any of the others who went before who could only try to own their full selves by risking sacrificing everything to have it. Maybe Peaches is a sign that we have in fact at least made a little bit of progress somewhere in the last decades. I hope so.
Cheers
Lloyd
