Music albums for the winter time

I usually listen to "heavier" stuff in the winter, since the weather induces depressing and moody feelings on me. Somehow I want to be left alone (but ironically I also want to be found out ) and get my mind off academic things and on more "arcane" concepts of social life, introspection, relations, etc. Only a few albums succeed in satisfying my emotion-venting needs...

So, what's your favorite music album(s) for the winter?

Mine are:
Anathema - A Silent Enigma (by far my most winter-y album)
Anathema - Eternity
Explosions In The Sky - Those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever

This year's runner-ups for a place in my "winter albums" elite selection:
Isis - Panopticon
A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness

I don't have specific albums for the seasons, but if I get stressed from school or somethin then I do listen to certain things...

Cold - 13 Ways to Bleed On Stage
Korn - Issues
A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms (Agree with ya there)
Chevelle - Wonder What's Next, or now, This Type of Thinking
Taproot - Gift

I've definitely noticed that during the fall and winter months I tend to really up the amount I listen to metal and techno. During spring and fall I stick more to the punk side of thing. Heavier music fits better with the cold and dark, for obvious reasons.

A few picks:

VNV Nation-Futureperfect
Nightwish-Once
Iced Earth-Something Wicked This Way Comes
Rob Dougan-Furious Angels
Any Orbital

I tend to listen to a lot more electronic, industrial, and dowtempo music. Stuff like Haujobb, KMFDM, Lovage, and Scorn. I also break out the old school black metal, like Satyricon and Emperor.

During the fall, the first Korn CD is a must.

These CDs in particular are ones I strongly think of as winter CDs:

The Shins - Oh Inverted World
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With the Arab Strap
Cursive - The Ugly Organ (particularly because of "The Recluse")

Hmm I'm prolly the only guy here but I used to like to listen to hip hop in the winter time...

Wu-Tang Clan - 36 chambers, Forever..solo albums Liquid Swords, Iron Man, Uncontrolled, Cuban Linx
Canibus - Can-I-Bus
Black Star
Pharoahe Monch - Internal Affairs
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
The Roots - Things Fall Apart, Illadelph Halflife
Dilated Peoples - The Platform, Expansion Team
Mars Ill - Raw Material
Pete Rock - Soul Survivor
Bullworth - The Soundtrack
Eminem - Slim Shady LP
Nas - Illmatic
Killarmy - Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars


etc. but now a days I don't tend to listen to any particular albums during any particular time...a lot of times I'll get a new album and listen to nothing else for like a freakin month or 2, or I'll pick up an album I haven't listened to in a long time and listen to it for a while, and I'll admit sometimes I feel like hearing a particular album...these days Pink Floyd are kinda ruling my CD walkman heh.

Asta!!

A girl I met online from Aussie sent me a CD compilation a while back called "Culture Of Kings" well a copy of it that is...It reminded me of "The Streets" because the accents were a little thick on some of them. It took some getting used to but it has it's appeal.

Asta!!

Immortal - 'Blizzard Beasts' - great cold, desolate atmoshere. Still need to get ahold of 'Sons of Northern Darkness'

Red Harvest - Sick Transit Gloria Mundi - industrial metal, very apocalypse-themed ("Last chance to evacuate the Earth" being the best opening line. Ever.) From fast and pounding to slow and grinding, heavy as hell the whole while.


Both bands from Norway, interestingly enough. Must be the climate.

Not necessarily what you asked for, but Sigur Ros - () is desolate yet beautiful. It makes me think of what it's probably like in Iceland.

I know, I have this CD and I like it, although the "lyrics" get on my nerves after a while
