Most Emotional/Saddest/Depressing Album Ever?

[Dreamer of Theaters]

Eponymous with the title.

 

[Vault101]

Year Zero....nine inch nails

still I liek to pretend it al turned out ok

 

[Duffeknol]

Everything:

 

[RemuValtrez]

Stabbing Westward - Darkest Days

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Still Life by Opeth:


God damn that's depressing, one of the few bands capable of moving me lyrically as well as with the atmosphere of the music.

 

[JesterRaiin]

The very best of Leonard Cohen. They should ship it with a shaving razor or something...

 

[deathbyoatmeal]

the wall by pink floyd

 

[EvilPicnic]

Don't Worry About Me, the posthumous solo album by Joey Ramone.


There's nothing sadder than a normally upbeat person dying, and raging against the dying of the light.

Just hearing him sing "I want my life/I want my life/It really sucks/It really sucks"

 

[Justice4L]

Year Zero....nine inch nails

still I liek to pretend it al turned out ok

Downward spiral by Nine Inch Nails is very sad

Spoiler

The songs follow a guy who is severely depressed and in the end he shoots himself.

The last song on the album.

 

[BonsaiK]

Probably the first This Mortal Coil album, "It'll End In Tears".

 

[Vicarious Reality]

This whole disturbing business

 

[Gardenia]

This whole disturbing business

I agree with this.
I would also like to add that the title of that song means "If the light takes us", which I think is an awesome title.

Dirt by Alice in Chains. All of the songs deal with Heroin addiction, and the title deals with the user wanting to commit suicide.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

Have some lyrical dissonance!

Overly peppy song... But the lyrics are depressing! The album is more depressing to me personally for reasons I'd not like to go into right now ^_^

God dammit Ninja'd.

Jar of flies, and Sap were also extremely depressing.

 

[Mafoobula]

Kaizers Orchestra, a Norwegian rock band so alternative it defies "alternative" as a genre, recorded the album "Evig Pint" while every one of its members were going through some kind of intense emotional hardships. And it shows. I think. I don't speak a word of Norwegian, but just LISTENING to that album brings my mood crashing down to Earth. It isn't exactly depressin, per se, but it's an effective buzz-kill.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#∞

 

[GreenSage]

not necessarily an album but very emotional. Get's me every time.

 

[Macrine]

Hospice - by The Antlers.
