Customer Reviews As good as its cover Great riffs, witty lyrics, awesome solos. If you think the cover is good, wait until you actually hear this. All in 2- min songs, just to make you want more. (an album not lacking in personality) There are some down-right hideous stops along their bizzare 20+ year career path objectively speaking. NoFX is an interesting band; one I still find respectable in a weird way. The bad moments are colossally BAD. . . but then the band's moments of brilliance are so spectacular that all is forgiven. When NoFX is "on" they are un-nervingly great. It's not where you start, it's what results, right? Ribbed is the album I always thought was the closest thing NoFX has to an "even" album (lol). All the signature elements are there. . . the fingerprints of a punk band never lacking in personality. This recording is the harbinger of a band ready to peak (Longest Line to White Trash to Punk In Drublic was EASILY the golden era of NoFX). Yes, El Hefe is absent on this and yes, there is a seriously "metal" twang consistantly coating this disk, but I find it to be a practically seemless and smooth ride, with enough rewarding and firey moments to lay off the skip button and enjoy this goofy imperfect band. "Malachi Crunch" has got to be one of the most under-appreciated songs of the band's career. . better days will come for the NOFX boys if i am correct, this is the album that preceeded "white Trash Two Heebs. . . " this album defiantely shows some NOFX strength in moron bros. and green corn. . some NOFX comedy with "together in the sand". . . and some all out sleepers in most of the disc. . . this is definately an album better ripped on itunes than sitting on a shelf. . . i mean unless you eat, sleep and breath NOFX. . . . i would say get this as cheap as you can and save the rest of the money for Punk in drublic, wolves in wolves clothing, so long and thanks for all the shoes, and white trash two heebs and a bean. .
