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: A Standard, with no pitch given (widely reported).

Ross Robinson and Indigo Ranch again, two years later, with the same tuning. The CD sits about 8 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 442), but its dense, distorted mix is hard to read, so single songs scatter.

    Notes

    A one-minute cover of War's Low Rider sung by Head, with a bagpipe part. The tabs disagree on its tuning (A or B♭), and TuneLit's check from the audio fits neither cleanly; check by ear.

    The Songsterr tab puts guitars and bass half a step lower than the rest of the album (B♭ E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭); an Ultimate Guitar tab keeps the album's A D G C F A D.
