 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: D Standard, with no pitch given (community).

Recorded as a four-piece: Jesse Pintado is credited, but Mitch Harris played all the guitars. Tabs are few and mostly use D Standard; one Guitar Pro file puts Narcoleptic in C♯. TuneLit's semitone check agrees with D on 10 of the 12 songs, Narcoleptic included, and the CD measures about 4 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 441).
