Yes mint did tone down the funk after the first album. The problem though is
that the first album was very minneapolis in jam/lewis fashion especially are you free which is the worst track the band ever did. The minneapolis sound all but died after the time's pandemonium in 1990. The three slow jams on the first album actually planted the seeds for mint's identity. I did like true to thee, try my love,
she's a honey, sensual appeal, and i wonder if she likes me. Ironically for me being a huge mint fan their most popular album definition of a band is my least favorite although it is good. I just like all the other albums better. The thing about mint though is when you see them perform live even with the plethora of slow jams the band has, you still feel like you are being funkdafied just by the band's excellent musicianship and they do still give you at least 4 uptempo jams during the course of their live show.
