A lot of their stuff sounds the same (on this album at least). The bass player seems simple and solid. i didn't really hear any stretching out or craziness, which is okay with me.
are their studio albums good, better? |

The condensed intensity on the live cut is what makes it amazing IMO. |

Livin the Luxury Brown, or basically any of their albums. http://www.mintconditionmusic.com/main.htm
One of the last 'true' R&B acts IMO. |

Kinchen gets off on that one right from the very first song "Close to Thee".
