Before we measured, sources said: Drop A, with no pitch given (community).
Most tabs of this album need a low A, usually on a 7-string guitar: Prisoners in Drop A (A E A D G B E), The Price We Pay a whole step down (A D G C F A D) and the title track with its two lowest strings dropped (A D A D G B E). Where Can We Go from Here? is tabbed for a 6-string in Drop A. The exceptions are None the Wiser in Drop C and The Cure & the Poison in E Standard. TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees with the low A on eight songs and with both exceptions. The CD sits about 6 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 441.5).

7. The Cure & the Poison

Songsterr and Ultimate Guitar both tab it in E Standard, the one song of the album in standard tuning, and TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees.

8. Where Can We Go from Here?
Different tuning
Drop A +6 ¢Measured
Notes
How to get there from E Standard: String 6 down 7 half steps (E → A), String 5 down 5 half steps (A → E), String 4 down 5 half steps (D → A), String 3 down 5 half steps (G → D), String 2 down 5 half steps (B → F♯), String 1 down 5 half steps (E → B).
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.
The only tab (Songsterr) is for a 6-string guitar in Drop A (A E A D F♯ B), and TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees on the low A.
