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

E Standard at concert pitch: the CD measures about 2 ¢ sharp, with every song within 4 ¢ of it, one of the most consistent results in the catalog. Some tabs use D Standard, several of them for live versions from after the band tuned down.
