TuneLit has not measured this record. The tuning comes from community sources, at concert pitch unless they say otherwise.

Danny Herrera's first album on drums. After the D of Harmony Corruption the band went back down: tabs of most songs, and of the Mass Appeal Madness EP before it, use C♯ Standard. One file of The World Keeps Turning is in D, the most-viewed one is in C♯. TuneLit has not measured this album.
