Before we measured, sources said: Drop A, with no pitch given (community).
The least certain album in the catalogue: only The F****t in You has a tab, in Drop A, so every other song follows it. TuneLit's semitone check from the audio hears A as the low string on that song and five others. The pitch is hard to read, too: The F****t in You, Breakout and Without a Case measure at or just below concert pitch with good confidence, while the rest read 9 to 40 ¢ sharp with low confidence, so the album value of about +11 ¢ (A ≈ 443) is a rough one. Some songs may use other tunings: the audio's lowest notes sit on C♯ in The Best & the Worst, on C in God Is Dead and on G in Without a Case. Check those by ear.

Notes
String 6 sits 7 half steps below its standard E2. On a normal set (.046) it keeps only about 45 % of its usual tension and feels loose. For the usual feel use about a .069 string, or a baritone guitar.
Drop A on a 6-string guitar is B Standard with the low string a whole step lower. A baritone guitar, or a heavy set of strings, holds it best.
The only tab of this album (Songsterr, with very few views) is in Drop A (A E A D F♯ B), and TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees. TuneLit measured this song at concert pitch (about −3 ¢), well below the album value.

Questions
What tuning is Hate Yourself with Style in?
Clawfinger recorded Hate Yourself with Style (2005) in Drop A, about 11 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), measured by TuneLit on the CD. The F****t in You and Without a Case use Drop A; Breakout (Embrace the Child Inside You) uses Drop A −7 ¢.
Why does Hate Yourself with Style sound out of tune with my guitar?
The record sits about 11 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), so a guitar tuned to A 440 clashes with it. The Tune buttons on this page set the tuner's reference to match the record, so you only tune the strings.
