I know we've had this thread tons of time, but what are some absolutely most bleak albums? Not 'muh gf' or anything like that, I mean real staring into the abyss, verge of suicide kind of stuff. The horrors of war, genocide, man's cruelty against each other, the futility of life, disease, death, etc.
Other than a few songs, I think this album has a total bleak feeling to it. Especially the closer.

I'm honestly surprised This Heat isn't brought up more here. Deceit is a really great album and "A New Kind Of Water" is an amazing track.

Yeah it's amazing
Shame thread is dying, wanted to see some suggestions but oh well. Only other things i've seen so far is a piss poor NME article and typical reddit "indie music is the saddest :(" mentality
All the Soviet Union era Grazhdanskaya Oborona and Kommunizm albums

Do you want bleak music or bleak themes? Because pretty much anyone can pull off bleak themes

'fraid you've outed yourself as a newfag. Like all critically acclaimed classics, this album goes through waves of popularity. There was a period of time just last year where you couldn't go a day without a thread being made about it.

Nice strawman, and yes, that's whiny music
very bleak with a much more realistic tone than nwa type gangsta rap stuff. this album is about living and dying in urban hell, not being a pimp and getting money.

Oh no, I have been defeated, I will now proceed to get the fuck off this failed thread
enjoy your whiny music, white teen

The Holy Bible by the Manics is as bleak as any album ever got in my humble opinion. Musically, probably not, but atmosphere, lyrics and theme wise, it is.
suicide - s/t
