    I guess its more collaborative than recent records but if I had to guess to a 'main' songwriter or creator or key sound it would be:

    Scared Of Fear - Stone
    React, Respond - Jeff
    Wreckage - Ed
    Dark Matter - Stone
    Wont Tell - Jeff
    Upper Hand - Mike
    Waiting For Stevie - Ed
    Running - Mike
    Something Special - Stone
    Got To Give - Ed
    Setting Sun - Stone

    This is from the recent interviews:
    Jeff brought the riffs for React, Respond and Running.
    Ed was Waiting For Stevie.
    Matt brought in the drum beat for Dark Matter and Jeff wrote the riff. (Would love to hear what Stome came up with for it).

    then they built out the songs together.

    Stone had Scared of Fear I believe. 

    Very curious of this as well! Always love investigating song writing credits.

    Seems like everyone in the room got songwriting credit including Watt, but the Stone Spin interview gives a li’l more insight into who started what.

    I like a lot of your guesses. On first listen, "Upper Hand" definitely sounds like a Mike song. "Wreckage" sounds like an Ed solo song. "React, Respond" reminds me of Devo and the Jam, "Won't Tell" has a U2 vibe, so for some reason I assumed Jeff was the driving force there (maybe because his musical tastes seem to be similar to mine?).

    Just heard on XM that Ed brought the riff in for Got to Give and the part after the chorus was Stone.

    Sounds like Stone had more of an influence on this record versus the previous couple. Probably why it sounds so good.

    Yeah I was mostly wanting to know what Stone had most influence on. The longer I’ve listened and seen this band, the more and more appreciation for Stone. Last years’ 8 show run, he was grooving the best I’ve ever heard him groove.

    +1. Everything that guy touches turns to gold. PJ, Brad, Painted Shield, etc.

    For some reason I thought in an interview Stone said Upper Hand was one of his? It'd be good to know since it's probably my favorite.
    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

    They definitely said in interviews which ones they started off (Scared=Stone), in the liner notes it says all songs written by the entire band plus Watt except for SS.

    Stone: Scared of Fear, Upper Hand

    Started off with his riffs.

    That Stone article in Spin had good insight.  The writing credits on Apple are full namd and Watt with Josh K getting a credit for Something  Special.

    based on that interview and a few clips heardon PJ radio:

    SoF: Stone riffs
    R,R:  thought Stone said this was his riff, sounds like Jeff
    Wreckage: Ed song based on Spin  article
    DM: Matt beat, Stone and Jeff took that and wrote parts in.
    WT: Jeff
    UH: don’t know this one
    WFS: old EV riff
    Running:  Jeff (Big Sandy Punk per the man himself)
    SSpecial: Ed and Josh K
    GTG:  Ed had a late 80’s Who/PT solo riff and Jeff worked around that.
    SS:  want to say the 1st half was Stone or Jeff, Watt wrote the 2nd half of the song

    I can hear Stone on a lot of the transitions, which stand out in a GOOD way. He’s a master at it:
