SinToxic 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 Any album by Devil Doll just plainly saddens and knocks me into a scenery of dark cellars and dead warbodies. On Thorns I Lay is another mellowsaddener, mainly the crystal tears album, specifical songs: My Angel, Eden and Enigma. Try to think of more later, great topic.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt." Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World," as Harley said. The entire Darkest Days album by Stabbing Westward is my "depression" album. The Smashing Pumpkins' "Today." Fear Factory's "Timelessness." Acid Bath's "The Bones of Baby Dolls." Pantera's "Cemetery Gates" and "Hollow." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt." I hear that. When I listen to the NIN original, I don't really feel anything, but Cash's just brings the downtroddenness to a whole new level. His voice, I think, is what makes it so beautifully sad. You can hear all the years of well, life in the track, and at the end of the song, you just know it's the end for Johnny as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My ex sent me an email after we were broken up and had both moved on, and the jist of it was, listen to "The Dance" and you'll understand, won't be depressed anymore, blah blah blah. Of course it ended up being the most depressing song I have ever heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
