something which I think is not often emphasized or highlighted is how Stone and Ed have functioned post Yield. With Yield, Stone and Ed collaborated on Do the Evolution and In Hiding. Stone also contributed lyrics and music to No Way and All Those Yesterdays. With Binaural however, Ed didn't write any lyrics to Stone's music. With Riot Act, Ed only gave lyrics to All or None, and did the spoken word abuse to Bushleaguer. S/T I'm unsure, but I get the impression it's minimal. Only songs coming to mind are Parachutes, and Life wasted. I think Mike helped with Comatose, so it's not exclusively Ed and Stone Very interesting the shift in song-writing dynamics. For sure, Matt Cameron seems like he's taken some of Stone's load off.

just check the credits for the lyrics.

S/T doesn't have them, at least not on pearljam.com

the booklet, or here. All the lyrics except Inside Job are credited to Eddie.

It's hard to tell who did what when it comes to PJ. It's even hard to have a discussion about it in a forum because some opinions get very strong because the music has always been a grey area in PJ unless the credits have only Vedder on and some people have opinions based on old mythology that was pretty much dismissed by recent interviews.

would love some examples...

Some people really believe Ed only wrote the lyrics to Life Wasted.
His input is not limited to lyrics or melody in the so called collaboration. Most bridges are his. He is co-credited for Inside Job but he isn't for tons of songs. On songs when Eddie has the full credits it's in fact that but when you have someone credited for music and Ed for lyrics it's not so. Sometimes they get full music credits for just a riff.

Inside Job is credited to McCready...and I'm not gonna lie, some of my favorite PJ lyrics
