Definition of a Band, the third album from St. Paul, Minnesota's Mint Condition, arrived on Perspective Records on September 24, 1996, and the title is a boast they back up. This is R&B played by a real, sweating, self-contained band, one of the last proper funk outfits to crack the charts before hip-hop and new jack swing took over, and they stretch out into jazz, funk and dance grooves with the ease of players who've logged serious hours together.

The ballads glide on silky harmonies and live-in-the-room keyboards, and "What Kind of Man Would I Be" is slow-dance soul with an ache in its chest. It was their biggest record yet, throwing off two hit singles and going gold, and Life's Aquarium came next.
