The most depressing albums ever.
greenMonkey:
Forgot this one.
It also puts me to sleep.
Shaft:
...If I think a song is depressing, that means it strikes a chord with me, which makes me feel good - it makes me feel happy. In this way I don't find any music depressing. I get depressed by bad music, though.
mberan42:
I immediately thought of this album:
Depressing in a "this world sucks major ass" way.
I agree with The Final Cut, but not with The Wall. TFC has Your Possible Past and Fletcher Memorial Home and Southampton Dock on it. While TW has Mother, Don't Leave Me Now, Goodbye Cruel World, Nobody Home, Comfortably Numb (which has lost nearly all meaning for me, unfortunately), Stop and Outside the Wall, it also has Happiest Days of our Lives, Another Brickin the Wall (Pts. 2 & 3) (again, lost all meaning for me), Young Lust, Bring the Boys Back Home, In the Flesh and Run Like Hell - those songs detract from the depressiveness of the album, to me. I still think it's a brilliant album. Just not a, categorically, depressive album.
Animals is such a "fuck you" to society:
"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in." - Dogs
"Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are." - Pigs (Three Different Ones)
"What do you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!" - Sheep
And pretty much all of Pigs on the Wing.
Ok, stepping off my Pink Floyd high-horse.
Other depressive albums, for me:
Can I even mention this band on the QC forums? Should I risk the ridicule and shame from my past likings (and continued guilty pleasure)?
Dashboard Confessional - So Impossible EP
Yeah, yeah, I know. You don't need to preach. I know. Trust me, I know. They were a past love. Kinda like your first girlfriend - you never forget her. That's what Dashboard is like to me. I've moved on, but I've never forgotten.
Especially the title track. Oh, man...
Another guilty pleasure. I don't listen to it often, but it's killer.
A bit of redemption? Seriously, my favourite Mogwai disc. Mogwai Fear Satan is probably on my all-time top-10 list of favourite tracks. Probably.
I think that's all I have, for now.
I certainly have a veritable shitton of "most depressing tracks," should anyone choose to start a thread like that.
Cheers.
bucky_2300:
My Dying Bride is just depressing in general. Especially on that live cut where the guy's voice cracks on "Bride" when he is introducing the band.
Hairy Joe Bob:
I would have to go with Nada! by Death In June
God this album is depressing. Songs about despair, bleakness, despair, rape, despair, Nazis, being gay and repressed, bleakness, despair.
Ugh. good record but I almost topped myself afterward.
I'd recommend Behind The Rose (Fields of Rape) as a track to listen to.
In a foreign land
In a foreign time
Reaping time had come
I'm falling back into
Fields of rape
I'm falling back into
Fields of rape
We're falling back into
Fields of rape, my love
And this was the way
And those were the horrors
As father went reaping
I'm falling back into
Fields of rape
I'm falling back into
Fields of rape
We're falling back into
Fields of rape, my love
Crushed, crushed, crushed
Mother bleeding
Crushed, crushed, crushed
We stand grinning
In a foreign land
In a foreign time
Reaping time had come
cheerful stuff.
