Speculating here.
1. "Lit Me Up" Lacey/Accardi
2. "Can't Get It Out" Lacey
3. "Waste" Lacey
4. "Could Never Be Heaven" Lacey
5. "Same Logic/Teeth" Accardi
6. "137" Accardi
7. "Out Of Mana" Lacey
8. "In The Water" Lacey
9. "Desert" Accardi
10. "No Control" Lacey
11. "451" Accardi
12. "Batter Up" Lacey

Can say without a doubt though that Jesse wrote Can't Get It Out and Could Never Be Heaven. Same Logic is Vin, rest are up for speculation I guess.

Edit: Changed Lit Me Up to co-write due to @truelovewaits and Vin's synth skills.

 

Oh Jesus Christ Walks? That should be really interesting!

 

I think Batter Up is almost definitely Jesse too. Agree that Can't Get It Out, Could Never Be Heaven and Same Logic are definitely correct on your speculation.

I actually agree with all of yours there, except for Lit Me Up. I'd guess that that one is AT LEAST co-written between the two of them

 

here you go

 

Generally Vin uses shocking imagery or abstract metaphors in his lyrics which is usually how I distinguish which songs are his.

 

You're probably right actually, Vin definitely played a big role in at least the instruments of that track. He rips that synth when they play it live.

 

"Burn like a witch in a puritan town" is such a classic Brand New lyric so I initially thought it was Jesse but that totally seems like something Vin would do

 

That's why I'm thinking it's co-written

 

John Nolan wrote at least half of Science Fiction.

 

I had no idea Vendetta Red had two albums before Between The Never and The Now. I dug Sisters of the Red Death but it’s lyrics got pretty.....graphic and that turned me off to it a bit

 

You're joking, but if we're talking co-writers, I wouldn't be surprised if KDev helped out on a few tracks.

 

No Control is definitely possible, but I don't think he'd be involved in any of the others

 

Welp just checked their song publishing website, the Science Fiction tracks have been added and all 4 members are listed as writers for each track. No co-writes at least on the website. Knowing the band's track record, knowing who wrote what song's lyrics is even more unlikely haha.

 

@teebs41 @Kevin360 where is the tweet that confirms KD's involvement on No Control?

 

I do think its nice when a band collectively pools songwriting credits, so kudos for that.

 

No Control fits KD's naming convention of putting "No" in the title lol. I'm always surprised when I realize how many of his songs are "No ____." Instigator has 3 alone.

 

It's really hard for me to imagine that KD had no input on the album at all. He must have at least heard the songs and provided feedback at the very least, even if he didn't have an active writing role. Still so strange to me that he's like in the band now. I kept forgetting at the show and then I was like wait that's Kevin Devine right there.

 

I didn't even know he was on stage when I saw them at High and Low lol

 

About to go into my exit interview. Never had one before. Don't know what to expect.

 

See, you strike me as the type that would just straight up skip your exit interview haha

 

And miss a chance to talk about myself????!

 

Make sure you grab something and drop it at the end and say John. Is. Out.

 

What is your avatar? That is awesome

 

Assuming your exit interview is happening on your last day @Kingjohn_654 haha
