Top 40 Albums of 2011: 28-26


28. Frank Turner - "England Keep My Bones"
The fourth solo album from former Million Dead frontman Frank Turner was more of his folk-punk style, but more of music this quality never goes amiss. The lyrical content is once again absolutely superb, while the album as a whole sparkled.


27. Within Temptation - "The Unforgiving"
Recorded in the early stages of Sharon den Adel's pregnancy, "The Unforgiving" is the superb fifth album from Dutch symphonic metal icons Within Temptation. A loose concept album, the record continued the band's evolution, with synth influences mixing in with the metal. A triumph.


26. Thursday - "No DevoluciĆ³n"
"No DevoluciĆ³n" marked a step away from Thursday's usual post-hardcore sound into something altogether more. One of the most atmospheric albums of the year, the experiment paid off. An album that gets better with every listen, this is a special album which I'm sure I'll rate even higher in the future.
