i find that Cat Power's Moon Pix extremely bleak, while at the same time kinda encouraging

Alice in Chains' Dirt is ultra bleak, the sound of heroin

bleaker than bleak
here is an excerpt :
"EVERYBODY DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES"

powerful, yet fucking bleak, to say the least.
musically excellent
i don't listen to this anymore
i was a great Sepultura and Obituary fan back in the early 90's though.
killer
might spin this nasty gonzo laters today

Bleakest album of them all. Puts your Jandeks, Sunns, and Godpspeeds to shame in that department.

True. In 'A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever And A Necklace' the recording of that kid trying to read the storybook is sometimes too suffocatingly sad to even listen to.

Well I can hear hope on Lift Yr Skinny... and Yanqui UXO, but not on F#A#. I think that album is a perfectly describing a pre or post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

Hmm... it may sound dull but I think it would fit perfectly in the second part of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, you know when you get out of the temple and you see the mountain surrounded by a big red ring behind you...

Cat Power's covers album. Such a dirge, massively depressing.

these two i endorse.

codeine i like a lot but i don't find them bleak at all.

are we talking about albums with bleak lyrical themes or bleak music or bleak everything? because most of the albums on this list don't seem bleak at all to me.

i wonder is pantophobia has done heroin to know what it sounds like. as someone who has done it, i will tell you what it sounds like, nothing. thats the best description of the drug i can give you, it feels like absolutley nothing.

Skip Spence's "Oar" I find pretty harrowing - a great album too.
