The #OPS Best Albums of 2016 List: The Bronze Medals: 40-21

The madness begins, I stayed up until 5 a.m. putting this together Friday night. Every year, doing this almost kills me but every year I love doing it.

Okay, this is the Bronze Medals, the albums ranked 40-21 (and maybe a few bonus albums too). Albums like "Callus" by Gonjasufi, "A Moon Shaped Pool" by Radiohead, "Hooray For Me" by Vomitface and many others.
