    I’m going to take this in an incredible dark direction and say That’s Just the Way That I Feel by Purple Mountains. This record is essentially a suicide note for artist David Berman, who killed himself shortly after it released.

    It’s more sad rather than angry at the world, but the poetic lyrics just tear me apart:

    Course I've been humbled by the void
    Much of my faith has been destroyed
    I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
    Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
    And as the pace of life keeps quickening
    Beneath the *removed* and the bickering
    When I try to drown my thoughts in gin
    I find my worst ideas know how to swim
