I think most people would agree with you, but "RIB" just never clicked with me. That's why I threw in my GG "Octopus" analogy. Many people consider that a genre defining album as well, but it just never worked for me.

Ultimately, my enjoyment of an album is based on how memorable it is and how much it resonates with me, and this one just never did either.
