Thats so cool.
yep

and (at least to me) it sounds *full* in a Riot Act way, much less of that tinny pop compression

Lets list how many Ed songs (music part) we had per album (again!)?

Lightning Bolt (5/12): Getaway, Lightning Bolt, Swallowed Whole, Sleeping by Myself, Future Days

Avocado (3/13): WWS, Severed Hand, Gone
Riot Act (5/15): Cant Keep, LBC, I Am Mine, Thumbing my Way, Green Disease
Binaural (5/13): Breakerfall, Insignificance, Grievance, Soon Forget, Parting Ways

Edit: Come Back is credit to Ed and Mike

Ed had 5 on Binaural and 5 on Riot Act (not counting Arc). This isn't new.

The big difference on this one is a few full band collaborations and also letting other guys contribute lyrics. LB and BS was all Ed.

While i dont know how songwriting credits actually work in the band, i dont think this is the kind of band that ed always brings in a complete song, shows them how to play it, then hit record.

By all band member accounts they all have input on everything they do.

Not arguing whether or not eds songs are good.

Also, what i hate most about this tiny teaser is how similar the guitar tone is. Exactly similar to wolfmoon. The overdriven jangly of a tele and fender amp is a great sound, but ed needs more meat.

Pretty good list. Maybe he's the best songwriter in the band.

Cool list. I dont quite like UK and LB from those. Dont care for SW, mainly because the production and i hate hate Future Days. The other stuff is plain awesome.
