Alice In Chains - Dirt

They're all different. For me, Jar of Flies is equal to Dirt in a different way but Tripod is a level below both. Nothing hits the absolute nihilism bottom of the barrel like Dirt.

AIC has some solid misery but if you want to hear some pure nihilism then Townes Van Zandt is the most pure and personal.

I'd also add Elliot Smith to that. Some Smiths.

If you want pure sadness, depression and melancholy, I don't think anything beats Low's first album - If I Could Live In Hope.

Definitely sad lyrics - but the instrumental doesn't scream sadness like "Lullaby" does.

Thanks for reminding me of Mount Eerie though - haven't listened to one of their (his?) albums since Clear Moon. That was before I went to college - seems like ages ago.

Remembering hearing a Low song in the Perks of Being a Wallflower soundtrack. Think it was 'Cracker'. Liked it a lot. Will Check em' out.
