Everybody's got their own ideas about the apocalypse and what would be the right soundtrack.

Oh, wait, how about...

my view of "apocalyptic albums" is probably different than most, but here you go:

Noir by Blue Sky Black Death

something beautiful, uplifting, and inspiring, but it has this feeling that won't leave me, you'll know what i mean

World Of Sleepers by Carbon Based Lifeforms

science ends as does the world

Of Natural History by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

From Wikipedia:

...its underlying mood is concerned with the apocalyptic implications caused by human presence on earth. To offer different viewpoints on this, SGM create their own characters and stories ... and borrow from Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Unabomber & T.S. Eliot, Muriel Rukeyser, and Kenneth Patchen. According to the band's official website, Of Natural History is in part "a debate between two contradictory pillars of 20th C. Anti-Humanism: The Futurists versus the Unabomber."

Tomorrow's Harvest by Boards Of Canada

This seems an obvious one.

Non-explicitly, there are a few other electronic artists that put me in a similar frame of mind: Tim Hecker, VHS Head, Demdike Stare, etc.

Hey I made an apocalypse playlist a few years ago for the impending 2012 doomsday :

Though it will probably happen not with a bang but with a whimper.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis
I'm not sure if this qualifies? I suppose it depends on which interpretation of the album you prescribe to. Oh, and speaking of artists/albums everyone hates that I love....

Thank you for the El-P above all else, not very familiar with him and had been recommended "That one El-P album ... you know the one" so I had no idea what they meant. Will be doing a write-up on this at some point, and will have to check out secretdad's thing as well, that seems very ... different.

I hope you guys can at least agree in terms of topicality.

For a split second, I thought you meant this was a concept album, then I would have to give it a listen.
