I'm going to take this in an incredible dark direction and say That's Just the Way That I Feel by Purple Mountains. This record is essentially a suicide note for artist David Berman, who killed himself shortly after it released.

It's more sad rather than angry at the world, but the poetic lyrics just tear me apart:

Course I've been humbled by the void
Much of my faith has been destroyed
I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
And as the pace of life keeps quickening
Beneath the *removed* and the bickering
When I try to drown my thoughts in gin
I find my worst ideas know how to swim

And this is why you don’t indulge in sadism. The other side of the game sucks really bad.
