Albums With Immense Beauty
Some albums that really click with me. |
1 | | Carissa's Wierd Songs About Leaving
This slow-moving album takes an emotional toll on the listener, through 40
minutes of piano and violin driven sad, sad indie rock. A captivating album born
from the emotions of the band members. There's nothing more that I could ask
for. |
2 | | Explosions In The Sky The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
Some people claim that this album is boring. I see it as calming. There is
nothing more soothing on after a long, stressful day, than lying down and
listening to this album as you let your emotions out. |
3 | | Cloudkicker Let Yourself Be Huge
This album is tranquility. All the songs on here are wonderful and beautiful. |
4 | | Brian Eno Ambient 1: Music For Airports
Airports Are A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Fly |
5 | | elvis depressedly save the planet kill yourself
Drug influenced ambient soundscapes that will soothe your nerves. |
6 | | Teen Suicide hymns
The last thing this band put out. No more garage rock, no more upbeat
songs, just broken and beaten souls. |
7 | | Merchant Ships For Cameron
One of the only albums that has made me cry. To be fair, it was during a
very emotional moment, but still, this album was on, I was crying, there you
go. |
8 | | Modest Mouse This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To...
Isaac was a sad sappy sucker. |
9 | | Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) What It Takes To Move Forward
Beautiful lyrics, beautiful music. |
10 | | Deafheaven Sunbather
People don't like this album because they want it to be something it's not. I
love it because it has everything I look for in music. |
11 | | Crywank James Is Going To Die Soon
The soundtrack to a painful break-up. |
12 | | Radiohead Kid A
Ten wonderful songs that emanate beauty. |
13 | | Saetia Saetia
Poetic lyrics and expressive music meld together into an incredibly beautiful
screamo album. |
14 | | Slint Spiderland
I MISS YOU! |
15 | | Teen Suicide Waste Yrself
An album about wasting away, decaying from apathy, letting your lack of
caring take over your life. Drugs, sleep, death, the symbolism on this thing
is incredible, and it's all topped off with Sam Ray's sweet, sweet voice. |
16 | | Suffocate For Fuck Sake Blazing Fires And Helicopters On The Fro
Narrative post-rock with occasional heavy bits. |
17 | | Ricky Eat Acid Three Love Songs
Marry me Sam Ray. |
18 | | Thee Silver Mount Zion He Has Left Us Alone...
Perhaps the saddest album that Efrim Menuck has worked on. Violin, piano,
even singing, these three members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor have
created one of the most beatiful post-rock albums out there. |
19 | | I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism... Discography
Dreamy screamo, with tons of emotion. Yum. |
20 | | Yaphet Kotto The Killer Was In The Government Blankets
Nothing quite like 90s emo. |
21 | | Gris A lame Enflammee, lame Constellee
Depressive black metal from Quebec with wonderful acoustic bits and jaw-
dropping heavy bits. |
22 | | Age Sixteen Open Up Finders, Please
It's like Suis La Lune with a black singer. So yeah, it's pretty awesome. |
23 | | Daitro Laisser Vivre Les Squelettes
The french know how it's done. |
24 | | Mogwai Young Team
With songs like Yes! I Am A Long Way From Home, R U Still Into It, Tracy,
and Mogwai Fear Satan, it would be a challenge not to be soothed and
moved by this spectacular post-rock classic. |
25 | | Suis La Lune Heir
Post-rock and screamo is an emotional combination. |
26 | | Beau Navire Hours
Emotional, hard-hitting, beautiful, intense, this album has it all. |
27 | | Jose Phine Demo
Oh, Mexico. |
28 | | Mogwai Come On Die Young
Early Mogwai beats most things. |
29 | | God Is An Astronaut All Is Violent, All Is Bright
Simple post-rock with huge emotional impact. |
30 | | This WIl Destroy You Young Mountain
Music that soothes, music that moves. |
31 | | Studying Sophomoronic
The sound of sad youth is one that affects me personally more than most
things. |

When you stay inside too much. |
33 | | The Brave Little Abacus Just Got Back From The Discomfort
Songs of a broken man, guided by well-executed emo instrumentals. |
34 | | Warren of Ohms Untitled
Wonderfully written lyrics and techincal guitar-work make for one of the
greatest user-created albums on this website. |
35 | | Gospel The Moon Is A Dead World
Not the saddest or the most tragic album, but the beauty here is
undeniable. |

Pretentious? Maybe a little. Unique and moving? Definitely. |
37 | | Envy All The Footprints You've Ever Left...
A Japanese post-rock/screamo album with triumphant moments of beauty. |
38 | | Flowers In Gun Barrels Discography
The first project from Nolan Arthur, with heartfelt screams and ambient
interludes, this discography has some of his most emotional work. |
39 | | ...Who Calls So Loud ...Who Calls So Loud
Post-rock and screamo is an emotional combination. [2] |
40 | | Captain, We're Sinking The Future Is Cancelled
This may seem like a strange choice, but I can't get through the album
without being moved, and I can't even sing the line "Jesus Christ I'm not what
you had in mind. Jesus Christ, don't cry." without my voice breaking. |
41 | | Cloudkicker Subsume
More beautiful work from Ben Sharp. |
42 | | Gris Il Etait une Foret...
With some of the most emotional vocals in black metal, this album can certainly
be described as depressive. |
43 | | American Football American Football
Start to finish, this is jaw-dropping classic emo. |
44 | | Burzum Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Black metal with incredible atmosphere. |

48 | | Jeromes Dream Seeing Means More Than Safety
Probably the most violent album I'll put on here. Fiery and passionate, but still
beautiful. |
49 | | Brand New Deja Entendu
My favourite Brand New. One of the most depressing alt-rock albums of all
time, yet incredibly fun to listen to. |
50 | | Godspeed You! Black Emperor Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas...
It would be a crime for me to leave this album off of this list. Maybe the
most beautiful of all time. |

post-hardcore. |
