Hater is the debut studio album by the American rock band Hater. [3] [4] [5] It was released in 1993 on A&M Records. [6]
The album was recorded live in five days, in a Seattle studio. [8] Most of the material was written by Ben Shepherd, who switched from bass to guitar for the album. [9]
The Stranger called the album "a concise ripper that revitalizes garage rock without descending into kitsch." [10] Trouser Press called it "trivial and self-indulgent, unreleasable were it not for the stature of the participants." [11]
