Jackson C. Frank is such a sad case, man. I can see myself turning out the same way, but without the talent.

Crack the Skye kicks ass but I doubt it's a contender for saddest album, OP.

OP here, I'm inclined to think it is, but I am very personally attached to CtS.
I had listened through it a couple of times and thought it was a great album. After one of my closest friends committed suicide however, I listened to it nearly non-stop for a week. I later read up on the whole deal about the album really being about the suicide of Brann's sister Skye, and how he was found trying to dig her out of her grave and all that, and it clicked with me. The lyrics and the story of the paraplegic boy astral traveling to the Czar weren't supposed to make sense; like the compositions, they are abstract thoughts meant to convey those sometimes hysteric feelings of despair from after a loved one has committed suicide.
Listening to it still brings me to tears, the last two songs being downright heartbreaking.
I have gotten some good responses in this thread, though, and I wouldn't be too surprised if there were much sadder stuff out there, but I have yet to hear something as immersive and sad as Crack the Skye yet.
Carter Hughes
I honestly think that it's the best pop punk album from the last 10 years
Soupy voice is so full of emotion
And I wanted to be brave it's a lyrical masterpiece
The whole album it's really fucking good
Noah Jenkins
cool I've listened to and mostly liked all their other albums so guess I need to check it out
Brayden Johnson
It evokes a huge range of emotions, though it's sad and heartfelt I wouldn't call it the saddest.
Elijah Gonzalez
Pic is to me the most immersive album when it comes to not being happy. To the extent of being so sad that it has turned from sad into disturbing. OP I can see why the sadness of losing someone to suicide can be damn sad, but to have music that does it from the perspective of the one who committed such an act goes to a whole new level.

I think it has to be this. The album itself is depressing enough and makes you feel as if you are drowning. But the back story to it, honestly makes it even more depressing.
pic related is a fair nomination though.
Aiden Cooper
I agree. This album, to me, involves so much self-loathing as to no longer see oneself as human. It is very draining.
Benjamin Harris
If you like female singers, this one takes the cake of sadness, disappointment and heartache that occurs in life, especially after the loss of a girlfriend, just skip the song "Zombie" because it's annoying as fuck
Nolan White
what is the back story? I love this album, can't believe there was one without me knowing about it
Luke Perry
>it's a "A song is bad if it's very popular" episode
Parker Long
it's mostly just generic pop rock
Daniel Russell
It's not a long story, but it seems that the guitarist who also does vocals got an arm injury that resulted in him not being able to ever play guitar again, and killed himself in 2008. Weighing Souls with Sand seems to be his "swan song".
Charles Morales
this isn't sad, though, I find it extremely uplifting with shades of melancholy
ultimately it's hopeful though, I think
Christian Diaz
I'm Irish and Zombie hits me hard as fuck
maybe you have to be Irish to appreciate the lyrics I dunno
Ian Cox
it's a good song he's just being contrarian
Jayden Jenkins
pretty sad but also really joyful, easy one of my favourited abums from the last years

Anger is a little more fitting.

definitely getting feels with this album, holy shit

Wyatt Sanchez
Nah, the way he talks about pain, or how helpless the second half of a Screw is, or I'll Do Anything For You, or all of Coward. Anger's definitely there, but it's the ultimate helplessness within the submission of early Swans that reigns supreme.
Owen King
i'm honestly fucking embarrassed by how often i listen to this album. so good
Gabriel Stewart
it's not a bad song because it's popular, it just doesn't fit the album's mood, and it's a shame that Zombie gets played the most on FM crap radio because it's angst-y grunge worthy alternative 90's rock, there are far better songs on "No need to argue", than the infamous annoying ZOMBIE
Aaron Wilson
the lyrics are all fine and good, but the vocals are not aesthetically pleasing on the ears.
Zachary Stewart
I'm not being contrarian, everyone in the whole fucking world can love that song all they want, I can do without it, I find it very boring
Julian Taylor
>vocals
>aesthetically pleasing
Jeremiah Reed
great regurgitation on your part, I'm impressed
Nicholas Diaz
i find this album quite soul crushing desu
Cooper Ortiz
thank you
Jace Wilson
once i read le backstory i cry everytiem
Connor Edwards
who wants to listen to someone wailing on going Zombie ie ie ie ie ie ie ie ie ie forever and ever, it's a childish and stupid song, that I'm sure the lead singer Dolores hates it to this very day....their biggest hit, is a crap song, it's like Blur being known for "Song 2" aka the woo hoo song, it has to be dumb as fuck for people to like it, dumb it down for the masses
Blake Stewart
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
Brandon Turner
Maybe the Stranger and Titan, but the rest of the album is pretty uplifting IMO
Joseph Gonzalez
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY
Hudson Rogers
certainly not that one
Evan Johnson
Always fucks me up. The Kursk usually hits me the hardest.
