What's your darkest album?

Which album do you find the darkest lyrically and atmospherically?

This Mortal Coil - "It'll End In Tears" for me

A lyric from Fond Affections

"Now the winter's drawing close The days are getting older I can tell by your face that your heart is getting colder"

and there's plenty more of that on there

It's a toss up between 'Garlands' by the Cocteau Twins or Unknown Pleasures.

Still

any by the Birthday Party

Pornography

Pornography, Recoil - Unsound Methods, or Black Celebration.

It's an excellent album, although nothing like Depeche. At least over here, though, it's very difficult to find Recoil. In Boston, I found it in a goth/industrial section in a used record store called In Your Ear, but in Philly, even at a record store that sells exclusively goth/industrial/synthpop/any band with a synth in it records, I found none on several occasions.

Got to be Closer.

Here are a few that immediately jump to mind...

Deathprod - Morals and Dogma DAF - Alles ist Gut Skinny Puppy - Vivisect VI

same here. i'm not really into dark music, although some of that smiths stuff i have is also quite dark.

Killing Joke (1980) Closer Berlin - Lou Reed Disintegration - The Cure In Utero - Nirvana The Downaward Spiral - NIN The Holy Bible - Manic Street Preachers

Some of these have been mentioned before, but:

Cocteau Twins - Garlands JD - Closer ACR - The Graveyeard And The Ballroom

Snorri xxx

Probably Unknown Pleasures - Black Cover ( Dark )

STEPS

Don't really do much 'dark' music.

Probably Closer.

The Cure - Pornography

faith - cure disintergration - cure mezzaine - massive attack closer - joy division

aint got them now but had their first 2 albums at the time. saw them at hac in 82 and yea your right, dark as hell

CLOSER but is it also one of my CLEANEST and dust free!

If I have to go with the album which is almost too depressing to bear, it'd be Dead Can Dance's Serpent's Egg. But I have a lot of dark music, so trying to win one over the other is just a bit tough.

and

" your mother's dead"

quite depressing

first thought too.

Substance. also black. but am more ok with it's content over say- INXS - because it wasn't a lie. that JD- touching from a magicaL distance.

M*A*S*H suicide is painless tune ..is a track stopper.
