Hater is the debut studio album by the American rock band Hater. It was released in 1993 on A&M Records.
The album was reissued on vinyl in 2016 by UME.
Production
The album was recorded live in five days, in a Seattle studio. Most of the material was written by Ben Shepherd, who switched from bass to guitar for the album.
Critical reception
The Stranger called the album "a concise ripper that revitalizes garage rock without descending into kitsch." Trouser Press called it "trivial and self-indulgent, unreleasable were it not for the stature of the participants."
