Rec Swan Song/Last Hurrah albums

When an artist is running on their last leg and know fully well about it, sometimes they refuse to go gently into that good night and release a masterpiece born out of that sense of mortality, that their life is soon to end or the band will be fucking dead. Rec me albums like those
1Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love
Last


Subtle title, innit? Massive thanks to CL0VER for this gem
2Joy Division
Closer


However you interpret the context of the word, this post-humous release following Ian's suicide makes it clear that Ian was probably fully aware that sooner or later he was going to self-destruct with the lyrics being a cry for help
3Swans
Swans Are Dead


Subtle isn't it?
4Sensory Deprivation
SNSRY DPRVTN


God bless you BMdrummer
5Refused
The Shape of Punk to Come


The band had already imploded while recording this album (hell they already knew Refused are fucking dead) and what came to be was something extraordinary from the ashes of the band
6David Bowie
Blackstar


I think we all know this too well
7Manic Street Preachers
The Holy Bible


Richey was really at an all time low on this album so it isn't much of a surprise to see his lyrics suddenly become so damn misanthopic and heavy hitting. Wasn't before long before the dude went missing but the album as a whole represents his fucked state and a final statement on his disillusioned perspective of life
8Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125


Old Ludwig's last hurrah with his failing hearing and my goodness
