Ribbed is the third studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX, released in 1991 through Epitaph Records. It was their last album to feature Steve Kidwiler on guitar; he was replaced by El Hefe. Ribbed is also the last NOFX album produced by Brett Gurewitz, who also produced their first two Epitaph albums. The album sold 8,000 copies upon its release.
In 2018, NOFX released the album Ribbed: Live in a Dive, a recording of a 2012 concert where the band played Ribbed in its entirety.
Critical reception
The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "an unblemished collection of genuinely funny songs." Trouser Press wrote that "Mike doesn’t alter his bratty delivery, but the record’s increased use of harmonies would become permanent."
Track listing All songs by Fat Mike except "Together on the Sand," by Steve Kidwiler.
