2- He wrote every vocal melodies for this album alone and think one of his strong melodies he ever did.
The 2nd point is really interesting. So they got rid of that lyricist rule and allowed their singer to finally create the melodies. No wonder why The Alien has some great melodies.
Not trying to doubt you SeRoX, but can you explain where in the interview he says that? Because when I run the article through Google translate and read the parts where JL is talking about vocal melodies, I get the impression he is speaking about writing all the vocal melodies for his new solo album, not the new DT album. This is how it's translated into English:
Let me say this from the beginning. We usually sit down with John and write the tunes, sometimes Jordan joins us. We wrote the melodies in my first three solo albums with Matt Guillory. On my new album, I wrote all the vocal melodies.
So JL speaks about how he would sit down with JP and possibly JR to do the vocal melodies on DT albums, but then he shifts to speaking about writing vocal melodies with Matt for his solo albums. Then he says on *his* new album - not the new DT album - that he wrote all the vocal melodies.
Honestly, I think this would make more sense since JL was probably responsible for writing all the lyrics on his new solo album, whereas others also wrote lyrics to the new DT, and while they wrote them, would probably have definitive ideas about how to sing them. Of course, those ideas could and would be modified, which is why JL would get together with JP and JR. I can't imagine JP (or any of the other guys) simply handing him a sheet of lyrics and saying "come up with your own vocal melody for these words". That said, maybe I'm wrong and maybe there's a mistranslation and it is abundantly clear in the original Turkish that JL says that he wrote all the vocal melodies for the new DT album. If it is, feel free to correct me SeRoX.
