Yeah, my favourite albums transport me right back into whatever I was feeling at the time I listened to them the most, whether that's been a peak or a valley. I'm endlessly amazed by how our brains work like that.
You might enjoy Daniel Levitin's This is Your Brain on Music. It's very informative, though I don't agree with all of its theories. I should go re-read it now that I've got a better background in psychology.
