Most depressing albums you've heard

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

Elvis Perkins - Ash Wednesday
Eels - Electro Shock Blues
I love Electro-Shock Blues so much. It really is a masterpiece. Check it out if you haven't ever listened.
quote:
Ash Wednesday is the debut studio album by singer songwriter Elvis Perkins, released on February 20, 2007, on XL Recordings. It is a chronologically sequenced album of songs written before (Tracks 1 to 6) and after (Tracks 7 to 11) the death of his mother, who died on 9/11. In a 2009 interview, Perkins states that the album "[has] been made out to be bleaker than it really is, [...] there were moments of hopefulness on Ash Wednesday too."[6]
Regarding the album's title, Perkins states that it:
refers to being left on Wednesday with nothing but ash, because [my mother] died on a Tuesday - being left with ash on September 12. That was also the day my father died, September 12 [1992, of complications from AIDS]. It first occurred to me on Ash Wednesday itself - my consciousness was largely ruled by having lost my mother six months previously.[7]
Eels - Electro Shock Blues
quote:
Electro-Shock Blues was written largely in response to frontman Mark Oliver Everett's (more commonly known as E) sister's suicide and his mother's terminal lung cancer. Many of the songs deal with their decline, his response to loss, and coming to terms with suddenly becoming the only living member of his family (his father having died of a heart attack in 1982; Everett, then 19 years old, was the first to discover his body).

brutal stuff. the only record of his i really listen to is "i break chairs," the only one that doesnt make me want to jump off a bridge.
lou reed - berlin
got this on a whim and the record store and while it was good, i think ive only listened to it once.
quote:
The album is a tragic rock opera about a doomed couple, and addresses themes of drug use, depression, physical abuse, and suicide.
"The Kids" tells of Caroline having her children taken from her by the authorities, and features the sounds of children shouting for their mother.
