Courtney Love has called her solo album "one of my life's great shames" alongside Steve Coogan and crack.
Love's solo album America's Sweetheart, released in 2004, was recorded when she was struggling with drug addiction. The album received mixed reviews and peaked at No. 53 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The Hole frontwoman posted a photo of a car with artwork on it inspired by the album's cover, sharing her thoughts on the record in the caption.
"A happy Australian cruising around, Australia… 'America's Sweetheart' having her revenge, on, Melbourne ?" she wrote. "AMAZING! Maybe one day I won't hate that record."
"It has some good songs. But like Steve Coogan, or crack, it's one of my life's great shames," she added. "Just the period, sloppiness, men, money, drugs, nightmare… although Chateau Miraval (where we made it) doesn't suck."
