Love/Hate is the second studio album by English rock band Nine Black Alps. It was recorded by Dave Sardy (Jet, Oasis) in L.A. and is the follow-up to debut album Everything Is (and Glitter Gulch EP) and was released on October 29, 2007.

This album has been described as a move towards 'pop accessibility' with more hummable tunes and a less alternative sound.[7] Vocalist and guitarist Sam Forrest stated in an interview that this album was more about the songwriting rather than the power of the guitar.

Singles released

Bitter End

This song differs from Nine Black Alps' usual fare and is driven by an acoustic guitar rather than the loud, distorted guitars that were so frequently used on their debut Everything Is.[8][9]

The video was shot in Wimbledon and shows the band playing the song. There are also clips of teenagers who appear to live in the woods doing different activities throughout the video. The video was also a nominee for Best telecine in a video in the UK Music Video Awards which took place in London's West End Odeon.[10]
