What are some musicians (or producers) who hate some of their own work?

I started thinking about this after reading this quote from Gus Dudgeon, the man who produced Elton John's Caribou:

Quote:

[It's] a piece of crap . . . the sound is the worst, the songs are nowhere, the sleeve came out wrong, the lyrics weren't that good, the singing wasn't all there, the playing wasn't great, and the production is just plain lousy."

There's also this Rivers Cuomo quote about Pinkerton, from 2001

Quote:

It's a hideous record... It was such a hugely painful mistake that happened in front of hundreds of thousands of people and continues to happen on a grander and grander scale and just won't go away. It's like getting really drunk at a party and spilling your guts in front of everyone and feeling incredibly great and cathartic about it, and then waking up the next morning and realizing what a complete fool you made of yourself.

He's probably changed his mind, considering that they've played the whole album a few times since then

Great, another Weezer/Pinkerton thread.

I know he's talked about No Code not being "as great as it could've been", but I don't know about Binaural

And Vitalogy. And probably No Code.

The last album was a piece of crap. I feel like people really misread it and it feels like a stain on my life

"I'd love to remix Ten," Ament told Spin in 2001. "Ed, for sure, would agree with me. Three, four years ago, I picked out a cassette, and it had the rough mixes of 'Garden' and 'Once,' and it sounded great. It wouldn't be like changing performances; just pull some of the reverb off it."

In 2009, Ament said that—unlike their other albums—Ten had a "little bit more of an '80s production." When Gossard was promoting the 2009 reissue of the album, featuring a remix of the original songs, he said that, "I think Ten's still good, but I don't put it on."

She mostly sounds mad that people misunderstood it.

Yeah I think that's most of it. But she does call it a piece of crap
