True, a big change from the "monster" credits of the Hysteria days,
where only Rick was left oui, except for Excitable maybe

If you're meaning Rick Allen, IIRC, the first time he was
credited with a song was I Wanna Touch U on Adrenalize.

But you're right. on Hysteria, all the songs were a combo of
Clark, Elliot, Rick, Mutt, and Phil.

I wonder if this was both words and music, like Steve did with
Wasted or Switch 625.

The album cover is brilliant.

No, of course not! :)

But he did write both the music and lyrics for Wasted on OTTN,
and the music totally for Switch 625. It is just unusual, at least
since High'n'Dry that someone in the band brings an entire song (music,
lyrics and all) to the table and is singly credited for it.
