 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).

Nine songs in about 33 minutes, produced by Chris Collier. Fieldy is credited on bass although he was on leave when it came out. The CD is at concert pitch: seven of the nine songs sit within 5 ¢ of A 440, Disconnect reads about 10 ¢ sharp and Lost in the Grandeur higher still.

    Notes

    One reading puts this song about 29 ¢ sharp, but not clearly enough to change its setting; if it sounds sharp against your guitar, raise the reference a little.

    On its own, this song measures sharper: CD +28.7 ¢ (medium confidence). Tune uses the album's A 440.

  5. 5. Disconnect

    Notes

    The only Songsterr tab (machine-made) uses a 7-string Drop A (A E A D G B E); an Ultimate Guitar tab plays it in the album's tuning without the low string.

    On its own, this song measures sharper: CD +9.6 ¢. Tune uses the album's A 440.
