Favorite Beautifully Sad Album

RTSullivan · 06-04-2013, 02:45 AM

Just looking to compile a list of albums that fit the titles description, for me its Radiohead - The Bends. And a close second would probably be Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope.

Jandek - Blue Corpse

Haunting, depressing, some people even thought he killed himself after this album (as it is with a lot of his work).

Elliott Smith Either/Or

or any Elliot Smith album for that matter.

This one. Even the cover screams desolation and loneliness.

Antimatter --- Planetary confinement

Here's a sample.

Insight especially but the whole thing is just genuinely depressing (evident when he topped himself not long after.)

The songs are like suicide notes in places.

Fantastic album, but if there's one album that has suicide note written all over it it's their last studio album Closer. I like to think of Closer as Ian Curtis' parting message to the world.

Also...

Yes I know I harped on about it in my journal recently but here it is again. 'Beautifully sad' doesn't even begin to describe it.

I was going to say Elliott Smith as well. His music was so beautiful and sad.
