The band contributed a song for the 1995 compilation album, Hempilation: Freedom Is NORML , called "Convicted". The musicians for the track were Shepherd, McBain, bassist Alan Davis, and Cameron. This same lineup recorded a second Hater album in 1995 following Soundgarden's Superunknown tour. The album, however, would be delayed.
During the lengthy hiatus, Shepherd found time to complete the tracks for Hater's second album between his collaborations with Wellwater Conspiracy (another side project with Cameron and McBain), the Mark Lanegan Band, and several other artists. In 1997, after Hater broke up, McBain participated in the first The Desert Sessions|Desert Sessions , a musical project led by Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme .

Hater's second album, called The 2nd , would finally see release on April 26, 2005. It was released through Burn Burn Burn. Allmusic said that the album is "quite comparable to the group's first release" in that it contains "loose n' fun garage rockers."Allmusic|class=album|id=r735757|pure_url=yes Allmusic In 2005, Shepherd recruited bassist Andrew Church (Broadcast Oblivion, Droo Church), guitarist Bubba Dupree ( Void (band)|Void ), and drummer Andy Duvall ( Zen Guerrilla ) to support The 2nd with a tour following the release of the album.
