What is the most depressing album you've heard?
It's nighttime, and once again I am in a foul mood. I sit at my keyboard, alone, in a darkened room. Nothing really ever changes, and nothing I do matters at all. I'm getting old, and it bothers me. Between the grey hairs and the lines, the face in the mirror doesn't look like me anymore.
I talked to the cashier in the store the other day, the redhead with the freckles and the tattoos. Funny how I've seen her for two years, and I only now realize how attractive she really is. Never noticed how nicely the dark liner frames her bright, pale eyes, the way her face lights up when she smiles, how the glimpse of the hidden inkwork under her sleeves makes my scarred heart skip a beat. I want to tell her, to let her know. It will never work. She is at least ten years younger than me, and every bit as beautiful as I am revolting. When I talk to her, I joke,and she thinks I'm funny. She has no idea how the humor conceals the inner tempest that ravages my every waking moments.
Sometimes when I feel this way, I put on something uplifting, something soothing, but not tonight. Tonight, I want to listen to that most depressing of music, the artists and songs that dash the hopes and dreams of a misspent youth, that leave a gaping void in their wake that only the pain and despair of a broken spirit can fill. Right now Neil Young is doing the trick, but I need more. Any Classical, Rock, or Metal album that will satisfy my fix is welcome.

Marilyn Manson's Holy Wood: In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death. That one was written at a very low point in Manson's life, following both his breakup from actress Rose McGowan and the whole post-Columbine backlash. Manson admitted years later that he was actually suicidal during that period, but I felt that the album made that pretty obvious...

Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Closer
Skip James - Greatest of the Delta Blues Singers, sounds odd but the songs are quite depressive acoustic blues.

Atis Fungahr - Ded Weyt, Euthanasia, probably a few others

Tim - The Replacements
The tone is pretty upbeat, but a lot of the lyrics seem to come from a genuinely sad place.

Im honestly surprised that nobody's said this yet as they are the only band that I know of who's made it to the mainstream that literally labels themselves as 'depressed', Blue October, there album Foiled is my personal favorite, but its all perty good. Also Chevelle is not bad (one of my favorite vands honestly).
