"I have no clue what possessed me to purchase Peaches debut disc "The Teaches of Peaches." I happened upon her video for the single "Lovert**s" and couldn't take my eyes off it. I don't if it is due to the fact that it is shockingly low budget and laughably amateurish or that I have a subconscious fascination with women riding/stroking bikes in a suburbanite alley? Whatever the reason I found myself tracking down her album without any real idea of what her sound is; it was entirely subliminal."Teaches of Peaches" is an album that won't venture far from your CD player. Melodically, the album is naked, beat driven, synth-infested and vocally repetitive but manages to surprisingly enduring. The initial bareness of the disc may frighten some off but once gave a chance you'll see the porn'esque beat backdrop is very suiting. How can't you love "Peaches" lyrically? Her vocals bleed similarities to top-notch phone-sex operators. Toying you along with her infectious X-rated nursery rhymes, not getting into it for herself, but rather you. It's pure entertainment; if Peaches says, "truck..." you know what word she'll rhyme it with. The only deadweight on this stellar disc is the painfully boring "Skittle My Diddle" and "Sucker," one of the two 'rock' songs is just too droning and shrill."The Teaches of Peaches" is easily one of my favorite albums in recent years. There is no way to really describe Peaches because she is fully a creation of her own. You just gotta hear her to believe her. Trust me, whether you like it or not, all day you'll be habitually singing "(...) on my....." as if it's nothing."

Hilarious

"whether you love or hate this album, you cannot deny that it will provoke a reaction. it's pure entertainment. the brilliance behind it is that peaches can actually sing these songs without laughing! i'd recommend it to anyone with a penchant for cheesy dance beats and a sense of humor about sex. it's definitely not a cd that will change your life but it's a lot fun..."

"Along with Le Tigre, Peaches is defining a new age of Female Rock. Peaches is an amazing melding of 80's Kraftwerk-esque beats with aggressive 90's riot-grrl vocal stylings, overtly sexual lyrics, and almost hip-hop lyrical delivery. In a (thankfully) post-post-grunge rock landscape, it's finally okay to have fun while making music, and not take yourself too seriously. Peaches is a clear indicator of that."
