I always found The White Birch far more bleak and depressing. It's like Frigid Stars is mostly about various relationships and things going bad, while most of The White Birch sounds like is from a perspective of somebody who is just tired of living and wants to die.

This is good dude thanks
>>
>>61103889

Have you even payed attention to the album? I wouldn't call it one of the saddest of all time but it's certainly not upbeat. Just because something has major melodies and is the butt of a lot of jokes that doesn't mean it can't have fairly sad subject matter.

Placebo's Battle For The Sun is another good example of this. Almost every track is really upbeat pop telling the tale of a love triangle that takes some dark turns, leads into a crime drama and ends up with everyone either dead or in prison wishing they were dead. I think it's a shame that albums like these are often left out of these discussions just because they have bright singles, grimdark ambient isn't the only way to tell a depressing story.

its about an abusive relationship you dumb fuck
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospice_(The_Antlers_album)
>>
>>61107542

"Hospice tells the story of a relationship between a hospice worker and a female patient suffering from terminal bone cancer."

>dumb fuck
>>
>>61107770
Silberman has described it as the story of an emotionally abusive relationship. Literally read one more sentence.
>>
>>61107814

Yeah, it's both. That's why saying "it's about an abusive relationship" is an argument against someone else saying "it's about a hospice worker fucking their patient," both of those things are true. That's why you're a dumb fuck, for some reason you thought one of them cancelled out the other.

I don't know what album is sadder, this or the promise
Tonite and Today and Dr.Troll show that its an album full of longing for happiness and acceptance that Jamie will never achieve but isn't necessarily sad, even the more intense songs aren't sad but more like sudden intensity of fear (I Broke Up, Suha)

A Promise is more about devastation in whole like with Apistat Commander, Sad-Redux, and Brooklyn Dodgers about being denied and/or a break up of a relationship .

Honestly, Worthless Recluse probably is the most succinct statement of 21st century pain and suffering. It's what I'd safely call "depressed". Most of the stuff in here is just bad day kind of stuff
