i believe one of the reasons it sounds great is that it's standard A440.

isn't this like the first thing perry's done that's not tuned down a half or whole pitch, since 1997?

the E-flat version of jane's just ain't great. it takes all the urgency out of everything,
there's no feeling of excitement, it sounds dull, laid back, tired and boring.
the same could be said for RATM. the murky waters of E-flat work great for
alice in chains, tuning down worked great for soundgarden. for jane's i see
it as nothing but horse-shitting up your whole vibe.

it's one thing if perry can't sing the old jane's shit unless it's tuned down, but
i mean c'mon. give it a rest then. there is no comparison. old jane's was
a ferrari in 4th gear. new jane's is a 10mpg pig land cruiser going uphill.
there is no sense of urgency.
there was a taste of it with eric back in the band, but still... i'd like
to hear jane's to a high tempo, standard tuning set, regardless of perry's insecurities.

this track kicks ass and it actually sounds like this guy "perry farrell".... pretty cool.
