We've heard of artists disowning albums years after they've been made and released, but a musician who slams their new record before it's even out is a new one.
Of course, Deadmau5 is not one to beat around the bush when it comes to speaking his mind, as we've seen in the past - but this time, he's being critical of his own work by taking to Twitter to denounce 'W:/2016Album', which comes out on December 2nd.
"i don't even like it," the Canadian DJ tweeted. "it was like... so fucking rushed / slapped together. but i mean... hey, if you like it i wanna like it too, just dont."
When a fan questioned why he'd bother putting out an album that he didn't even like, he blamed the fact that he's got 'mad bills' [to pay].
His record label might not share his views - but see his full tweets below:

this is seriously a love/hate thing happening here. But, a thing, nonetheless. and it's good to be doing things.
