I think he makes it clear though that he isn't saying the songs are "bad", nor giving his opinion on them as creative works .. simply that he couldn't find the character for them, and that's why he "hated" them. No criticism of Steinman's work, simply of his own inability to find a character that would for him convey the truth in them. More a reflection on why at that time he didn't enjoying performing them.
