What are some albums that virtually contain the minimal amount of riffs, that somehow manages to be interesting against the odds. Is the albums minimalism its success, or as its respective length nears it conclusion weariness sets in, or does it just keep you interested all the way

Pain of Salvation's "BE" gets away with having almost no guitar riffs. It's a real bore though with all those damn interludes taking up 80% of the album.

They do but I'm talking about Fas and Paracletus mostly. You can't quite make out the riffs from the chaos going on. More like a wall of sound and that wall is being blasted by 300 kilos of C4. So it's not exactly "riff based" is it?
