Before we measured, sources said: E Standard, with no pitch given (community).
E Standard, about 4 ¢ flat, and the most even Green Day record TuneLit measured: every song within a few cents of the album. The last of the 2012 trilogy, brought forward to December while Billie Joe Armstrong was in rehab. It opens with Brutal Love, a slow soul ballad that the audio check hears half a step lower than its tab, and ends with The Forgotten, the piano song also used in the last Twilight film. Near the end comes the six-minute suite Dirty Rotten Bastards, the longest song of the trilogy.

Notes
TuneLit's audio check hears an E♭ low string here, but every tab says E Standard: worth a check by ear.

Notes
Barely uses the open low E, so the audio check cannot confirm the tuning; the tabs say E Standard.
