 Offset from concert pitch (A 440). Spread: the middle half of the songs, when four or more share the album's pitch. Confidence: how well the notes agree with one grid.

Before we measured, sources said: E Standard, with no pitch given (community).

Plain E Standard, about 3 ¢ flat: concert pitch to the ear, every song close to the album. The first of the three 2012 albums, cut at Jingletown in Oakland with Rob Cavallo and the first with Jason White as a full member, so two guitars are tuned the same throughout. It is the power-pop part of the trilogy: short songs, open chords and down-strokes, from Nuclear Family and Stay the Night to Oh Love, which closes it at a slower tempo. Tune once for the whole record.
