Top 40 Albums of 2011: 31-29


31. The Union - "Siren's Song"
The second album from Luke Morley and Peter Shoulder's The Union combined melody with hard rock sensibilities to create a highly pleasurable listen from start to finish, proving there's life in the old dogs yet!


30. Thrice - "Major/Minor"
Incredibly, this is the eighth studio album from Thrice, and furthers their evolution from emo pioneers to masters of post-hardcore. The multi structured songs are still apparent and the lush sound we've come to expect has gone nowhere. A fine effort from a much underrated band.


29. Michael Schenker - "Temple of Rock"
An all star cast including his brother, Robin McAuley, Leslie West and even William Shatner give "Temple of Rock" the bigtime feel it so richly deserves. From hard rock to classic Schenker ballads, it's another top release from one of the best of all time.
