As far as an album that is raw and angry & borderline self-destructive, Redman's 'Dare Iz a Darkside' is similar to The Infamous. Not so much in terms of the settings Prodigy and Havoc bring up, but just the mood of Redman's album. It's claustrophobic, edgy, dark like depression is. It even has the insane sense of humor that sometimes comes with depression.
Game Theory and Rising Down are albums with a lean towards depression. Rising Down seems more personal. Between 75 Bars, Lost Desire, I Can't Take It, and Criminal, alot of the most angry, dense songs from The Roots are on this album. Even the single, Rising Up, seems like it's a relief from the darkness than a highlight.
Kid A is a very depressing album. It's dense and inaccessible, at times exhausting to listen to, but also very intricate and beautiful in a way, like depression can be. It doesn't get much sadder than 'How to Disappear Completely' and 'In Limbo'.
Sea Change is another heartbreak album, but very depressing. As is Bitter by Meshell.
