This @chuck is one of the most melancholic albums ever.
For sure. Gotta be in the right mood to sit through it. I dont think I'd try if I was a person prone to depression.
I love how he teases a little light as he looks out on peaceful lands, and then shatters the notion with his description of humanity..."an ocean of shaking hands that grab at the sky." The images that conjures are unpleasant, to put it mildly.

In fact, I played it the other day as I drove down Juanita-Woodinville Way.
Ahh...lost opportunities.
More dismal than melancholy, written about the Green River Killer.

Pretty fucking depressing - a song about your kid fall out a window to his death....
This one always makes me want to put a snub nose in my mouth. Not that the Throbber is suicidal....it's just such a fucking downer.
Most of Joy Division's 'Closer' album was a cry out for help from Ian Curtis. Very dark and haunting stuff.
A masterpiece in minor key melancholy
