I don't understand why but there are certain albums out there that just affect me and make me feel like a different human being living in a different reality of emotions that come on almost like a drug of positive mental playtime.
The first 3 albums by The Polyphonic Spree / Pink Floyd The Wall / and every song every recorded by The Strokes are examples of such.
And it really sucks when those bands in question really let you down with a new album.
