Does Let England Shake give anyone else an extreme wave of nostalgia?
It's one of my favorite albums ever, if not my favorite ever, tied with King by Belly, and it only came out two years after I was born. But I wonder if anyone else genuinely gets chills from it because of the nostalgic feel to it, even if you didn't necessarily grow up with it. I have synesthesia so I associate a lot of the songs with certain unrelated things like penguins, IKEA, the color white, the color black, ice cold water, nintendo 3DS (that one is because some parts of Written on the Forehead remind me of a Nintendo loading screen). Synesthesia aside, though, the entire album just sends me back to when I was like, two years old, life was simple, and I'm wondering if it gives anyone else severe nostalgia. Would love to know what your favorite track(s) is/are from it as well! Mine is either Bitter Branches or On Battleship Hill, I really can't choose just one.
