Subject is the post. Curious if anyone knows off-hand or knows an easy way to find out.

thinking about it for 0 seconds, pure gut feel, pure id, straight from the source, definitely not typing these clauses to afford myself more time to think, i'm going to guess MHTRTC

in order of highest average BPM to lowest, from the data i could find, excluding inferno (somehow forgot about it):

Tomorrow's Harvest (119.1 BPM) > The Campfire Headphase (111.8 BPM) > Geogaddi (105.1 BPM) > Music Has the Right to Children (96.1 BPM)

so MHTRTC is actually the slowest!

This data doesn't align with my bias! I wanted to be able to say that each LP has gotten faster, but no, Inferno slowed down just enough to wreck my hypothesis.

Throwing in another guess... I bet the EPs are faster, on average, than the LPs.

Basefree, June 9th and Amo Bishop Roden are probably the 3 fastest tunes in their (official) discography, and they're all from EPs.

Data export via Exportify. Tempo is one of the many exported parameters.

Algorithms may misidentify the tempo, with a track of 70 BPM sometimes being recorded as 140 BPM. I simply looked at the raw data and did not take into account any possible double tempo detection.

Thanks for the data. It's actually pretty interesting to see this!
