Top 40 Albums of 2011: 37-35


37. Childish Gambino - "Camp"
Community's Donald Glover has been recording as Childish Gambino for a few years now, and his mainstream debut is one of the best hip-hop efforts of the last twelve months. Intelligent and sometimes damn funny lyrics over slick beats, this jack of all trades seems to be very good at all of them.


36. White Wizzard - "Flying Tigers"
Jon Leon's White Wizzard's second studio album is a heavy metal opus of the highest order. The first six tracks are straight up heavy metal, while the last six are a mini concept album with progressive overtones. This is a fine album, worthy of a listen.


35. Rival Sons - "Pressure and Time"
The second album from LA blues rockers Rival Sons is short, sweet and it rocks. Clocking in at just over half an hour, the band certainly leave you wanting more, as the riffs and the voice meld to give a really warm sound. Excellent.
