Re: \"Darkest\" Album Ever?...
Dirt is a good choice, but I'd have to go with The Wall. At least on Dirt, there's a certain, "yeah, I'm a junkie, but at least it's fun sometimes" vibe to it. The Wall is a steady descent into madness, and you don't really get the feeling that the protagonist is enjoying it at all along the way.
In high school band, we played a piece that was meant to simulate the fire-bombings of Dresden. We made noises like bombs falling in the distance and even screamed at the top of our lungs at the moment the city is being attacked. Apparently the marching band arrangement calls for the band to march in a swastika. Not happy stuff.
