Before we measured, sources said: A Standard, with no pitch given (widely reported).
Self-produced, and the last album with Head before he left in 2005. When Will This End hides a live cover of Metallica's One after it. The CD sits about 11 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 443); Counting on Me, Everything I've Known and Play Me are at concert pitch. Two songs leave A Standard: Counting on Me (G♯) and Let's Do This Now (B♭).

Notes
How to get there from the album's A Standard: Every string down a half step.
Measured at concert pitch, about 9 ¢ below the album.
Songsterr tunes the 7-strings and the 5-string bass half a step below the rest of the album (G♯ C♯ F♯ B E G♯ C♯, bass G♯ C♯ F♯ B E); the Ultimate Guitar tabs keep A D G C F A D. TuneLit's check from the audio hears almost no low A on the record, which rules out the album's tuning; G♯ fits what it hears.

B♭ Standard +11 ¢Measured
Notes
How to get there from the album's A Standard: Every string up a half step.
Half a step above the rest of the album, in B♭ Standard, going by the guitar tabs and the low notes on the record; the bass tabs disagree.
Both guitar tabs put the low string on B♭: Songsterr tunes the 7-strings half a step above the rest of the album (B♭ E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), an Ultimate Guitar tab plays it on a 6-string with a low B♭. The bass tabs keep A D G C F, but TuneLit's check from the audio hears B♭ as the lowest note, often, and never the A under it, so the bass is shown with the guitars.

Questions
What tuning is Take a Look in the Mirror in?
Korn recorded Take a Look in the Mirror (2003) in A Standard, about 11 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), measured by TuneLit on the CD. Counting on Me uses G♯ Standard; Everything I've Known and Play Me use A Standard; Let's Do This Now uses B♭ Standard +11 ¢.
Why does Take a Look in the Mirror sound out of tune with my guitar?
The record sits about 11 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), so a guitar tuned to A 440 clashes with it. The Tune buttons on this page set the tuner's reference to match the record, song by song, so you only tune the strings.
