I prefer it to Goo and Sonic Nurse; put it on par with EJSTANS (similar in that it's enjoyable but lacks depth). I couldn't begin to consider it as one of my top-5 as Sonic Youth's first five albums are considerably better than it (but then, that is a formidable first-five-albums: genuine alt.rock classics - and Rather Ripped is enjoyable, not even aiming at that level).
