Ribbed is the third studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX, released in 1991 through Epitaph Records.[7][8][9] It was their last album to feature Steve Kidwiler on guitar; he was replaced by El Hefe.[10] 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.[11]

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."[4] Trouser Press wrote that "Mike doesn’t alter his bratty delivery, but the record’s increased use of harmonies would become permanent."[12]
