Who wrote which song on Lightning Bolt

Since each band member now has their own family and all live separate lives, I would imagine each one beings some unique musical ideas to the table developed at home prior to recording time. Seeing as Lightning Bolt has so many unique and different sounds I would venture to guess that many started as ideas from different individuals. I would love to see the album list the originator of each song. If you had to guess, which songs were written by whom?

I would venture to guess My Father's Son comes from Ed.

Any other guesses out there?

    Just from hearing that nasty groove and how big of an influence Sting is on a lot of bass players, I'd say My Father's Son is a Jeff tune.

    LTRP sounds like it could be Stone or Jeff.

    We know Ed wrote SBM, but I think Stone hopped into the drivers seat when they were fleshing out the full band arrangement.

    Yellow Moon has a bit of a Lowlight vibe in the main guitar part, so maybe Jeff.

    Infallible is another that has a great groove, so I'm leaning towards Stone or Jeff...I'll go Stone since it's more guitar based.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Getaway - Vedder
    MYM - McCready
    MFS - Ament
    Lighting Bolt - Vedder
    Sirens - McCready
    Infallible - Gossard/Ament
    Pendulum - Ament/Gossard

    not sure about collaboration but we will know when we get the liner notes next week. Pretty sure all lyrics are Eds.
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    I'm pretty sure it was established in another thread that Matt doesn't have any songs on the album.

    I'm actually not from Albany, proper, though I do work in Albany. I'm from Hudson... which is about 40 mins or so south/east-ish
