    Id love to know what songs youre thinking of when you sat Madness embodies speed and complexity, because i love madness but id never use either of those words to describe them. Maaaayyybe complexity if youre judging by the times and on a sliding scale, but speed i dont get at all.

      “I’m more into madness” = I prefer madness over Toots & The Maytals because they are more complex and faster.

      Yeah, they’re not Archspire, but they’re fast enough for more mainstream music.

      Also, it’s fairly sophisitcated, they have dimished scale and some kind of arabian sounding mode in the song I linked, and the tempo is in the high 100s. (turns out it’s 150+ but fucking whatever , feels fast, and changes)

        I cant follow the links you posted because youtube is down according to invidious. I didnt mean anything by it though, i was genuinely just curious because i do have quite a few madness songs saved but none of them are especially fast or complex by modern standards so i was wondering if i was missing out on something in their catalogue or if you just meant in comparison to other similar genre artists that came before them.
