The most depressing albums ever.

Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy is a depressing album, but brilliant. Repeated lyrical motifs, a beautifully woven storyline of unrequited love that simply builds and builds as the album goes on and eventually leaves the underdog narrator finally alone despite every ounce of his soul being poured into loving the girl, and some stellar folk-rock.



Casiotone For The Painfully Alone basically draws every song from an unfathomable pit of total heart-wrenching sadness, which is especially true on Etiquette. I seriously can't listen to more than two of his songs at a time. I mean, come on - the title of one of them is "Don't They Have Payphones Wherever You Were Last Night." The dude puts the "mope" in "siiiiiiiiiigh."

I'd also like to point out that that MDB album is a contender for funniest album ever.

Oddly, I usually find this album uplifting. It tends to shake me out of depression.

Paradise Lost - Gothic

Second album from british doom metal act Paradise Lost is probably one of the best doom metal albums of the 90's. Many people (including the band memmbers themselfs) calims that this albums is actually the album that invented gothic metal, by combining death metal with doom metal estetics and throeing in femal vocals to accompany Nick Holmes' vocals.
Way is this the first album to come to my mind?

"After all wars
We lie, as shelter falls
The world is but hell
A place darckened by time
Submit to the fall
Live in peace for years
Turn back the hands of time
Light shines before
As lives are torn
Morals slow decline
We'll live in cold fear
Until we lay dead
Silent our pleas
Search for the end"

Paradise Lost - Shades Of God

Third album of PL brings a new sound, away from the doom/death of gothic to a more "down and dirty" sound (actually, I think the sound is closer to thrash metal then to doom). But none the less PL delivers another masterpiece that walked me through a lot in my life.

These will do for now, more to come.
