Remember when you were a kid and your negatively influencing best friend let you here 2 LIVE Crew's Me So Horny for the first time? Can you recall that feeling of naughtiness and the sexual curiosity that it inspired? If you haven't already, you can experience that childish glee all over again by listening to any given album by the sex-bending anarchist known as Peaches.

Her latest album is called Impeach My Bush and it opens with a short intro called "Fuck or Kill" where she wreaks her sexual fury on politics with the lines "Id rather fuck who I want than kill who I am told to" and her subliminal message at the end of the song where she subtly leaves out the "my" of the "Impeach My Bush" part to get her point across more blatantly. Fortunately, politics are not really Peaches thing and that is the last political jargon on the album, for the rest, well; the rest is back to the basics. That is, more songs about dicks, pussies, gay men, fisting, and pretty much any fetish you can Google. In fact, just writing about Peaches makes me feel kind of dirty.

Impeach my Bush is basically the same album as The Teaches of Peaces and Fatherfucker. The only difference is that the sound is just a little more polished. Although there is not one song as good as "Fuck the Pain Away," there is not a song as cheap sounding as it either. "Two Guys For Every Girl" may be the highlight of the album and it is defiantly pornographic electro-clash at it's best; hell, just read the title. Some of the beats on this album are as funky as Fisherspooner and at times even the rapping is surprisingly good.

"Rock the Shocker" is another rump shaker and it may very well be the first song ever to pay homage to the shocker, yeah THE shocker. "On You Love It," Peaches teases us with her punk side and shows off her ability as a musician. But mostly, what makes this album slightly better than it's predecessors are the hard pulsing beats of songs like "Stick It To the Pimp" and "Get It."

It is highly likely that Impeach my Bush is playing on the dance floors of several Euro-freak clubs all across the world right now as you are reading this review. The kind of clubs where naked dudes hang from the ceiling via hooks through their nipples. You might also hear Peaches at some raunchy Asian strip club like in the movie Lost In Translation. It is also very possible that there will be many unspeakably kinky things going on in the bedrooms of the folks who listen to this. In other words, whether you want to admit or not, Peaches is damn good at what she does - just don't let the kids get a hold of this one!
