Somehow I doubt that lists based on subjective, abstract qualities of music would be eligible. Interesting list, though (even though this is probably the one and only time that Coldplay have been characterized as "dark" - and I'm speaking as someone who still loves those first two albums).

Seems more like ”dark albums we like” than the darkest albums…
