Behold a culture that is in perpetual pursuit of a recorded version of true suffering. Some platonic ideal, perhaps, that requires such extremes of self loathing as to devour the individual who records it. Perhaps a form of human sacrifice?
And yet it is just okay.

You think Amy Winehouse is bad, you should check out the "Goregrind" genre on Discogs.

Metal and its many offshoots have always struck me as more of an object worship of human anguish than an actual expression of it. I would much sooner be led to believe that Amy Winehouse, Nick Drake, or even Brian Wilson are actually suffering than Carcass or Napalm Death.

Ahhh, but anguish and suffering aren't the same thing — anguish is a subset, whereas suffering is more like the overall, right? At least that's what they taught me at Suffering State University.
"Most anguished album" might be an interesting discussion topic, actually — Back To Black would certainly get a few votes for that, along with stuff like Joy Division or The Cure's Pornography, or any number of emo band LPs that I refuse to listen to as a matter of principle. (Maybe for practicality's sake it should be limited to "most anguished album by a female solo artist.")

I'll always argue for The Sunset Tree. Lingua Ignata's Sinner Get Ready and Mount Eerie's A Crow Looked at Me up there, as well.
