Albums just generally dealing with and convey the feelings of sadness, loneliness, heartbreak, death, depression, that sort of thing.

Three albums come to mind for me that might put you on suicide watch.

Low - I Could Live in Hope
Joy Division - Closer
Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill

Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing
Beck - Sea Change

Both are great albums but very depressing

Heard Sigur Ros. Needed a half dozen anti depressants to snap out of it.

I'm not a big country music fan at all but I do like some of the old school country as well as some of the artists from the 80s and 90s.




Keith Whitley - Keith Whitley's Greatest Hits -

you'd be hard pressed to find a more sad album. Some good songs but you can hear the depression in his voice. The songs are all the more sad knowing he died from an alchohol overdose.

My wife told me when Radiohead's "In Rainbows" was playing in the car that it sounded depressing.

I thought it had a great production sound to it. the "depressing" that she spoke of was not what I was listening for.

It took a few listens for me to not listen to what the instruments were doing and focus on the lyrics to see what she meant.

I still thought it was a good album.
