Yes, mastering isn't best, but this album has for me many faces, some of them hidden when you listen to it first time. It may get more interesting with time, or may not. Hope that, all in all, you will enjoy it.
well now...lou reed and kurt cobain... a gal named Nico did an album called 'chelsea girls' ... years ago- there's an absolutely unique depressing bit of work.
Funny tho, Iv'e never found Lou Reed depressing. Even at his darkest,"Dirty Boulevard, Finish line,etc" it's kind of heady and life affirming for all of it's darkness!
I find the most depressing songs are generally rap and pop, I get very depressed about the future of America. 😉
Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Was played for the funeral of a 7th grade girl who comitted suicide at my school. (It was her favorite song)

I agree 'bout lou reed. However...(you from N.Y.) ...my visit there some yrs. ago, showed me (in an "in your face" manner) what the city does to people.., and how some (literally) can't leave. Hey...Once 'in the system', they don't forget. Back to the music. - My condolences to person whose friend commited suicide...whose song was landslide, a 'stevie nicks' tune.I, (also) had a friend kill self in high school. No-one (to this day) knows why. I do know (today) when I see a friend acting a bit weird, I take a moment out of my day to ask 'Hey, what's happening'. 'Course, I'm an old guy...out of the "hippie- free love" daze...ex-street person and so on... and probably don't have much to offer, nonetheless- I pay attention. Take care-
At the risk of coming off as potential flamebait, I think 90% of all country music is depressing...
You guys DO know what you get when you play a country music album backwards don't you? You get your wife back, your house, your credit, your kids.... 😀
On a more serious note, I find Tracy Chapman's first CD release to be full of downward emotion. Not so much depressing but very sad. But I guess it could lead to depression if you listen to it often.

In the right context- Pink Floyd- "Wish You Were Here"
Danny Darko (Film) Sounds like Michael Stipes- "Mad World"
John Lenon, then covered by Ozzy Osbourne- "Working Class Hero"

I know nirvana's been mentioned before...but more specifically "something in the way" is probably the most depressing song i've ever heard...

Journey - Don't Stop Believin'
The song by itself is OK, but when used during the scene in the film "Monster" was a real tear jerker. Amazing, that images and sounds when combined can create emotions like that, but are minimal unto themselves.

Phil Collins- "We said hello goodbye"
I can't even listen to that song. As soon as I hear the first few keys on the piano, I have to shut it off. I feel like I'm drowning!! Has to do with High School. High school probably did more harm than good! 😀

$1000 Wedding by Gram Parsons
and my top pick:
"To Be the One" by Ryan Adams off the album Heartbreaker. The line "The empty bottle it misses you, and I'm the one it's talking to" encapsulated every drunk/cowboy/cry-into-your-beer/my baby done left me song ever written, and Adams delivery of the line is perfect.
And yes, country songs are the most depressing out there. I said it so it must be true!

"No mans friend" by Mike Ness is definitely high on my list, so is
"Someone´s out to get me" performed by Demented Are Go.
The latter might seem like a strange choice, but there´s a story (involving alcohol and women, of corse) behind that too.
