You'd hardly find a lower-quality track in the whole album.
My highlights are actually in the second half: "Deathcry of a Race" which would by my choice were I asked to name the best track out of the album — love the melodies, the rousing chorus (Sammet is truly incredible), the operatic...
Re-listened to The Source lately.
Everybody was speaking about "The Day That The World Breaks Down" back then, and rightly so, but can we just stop for a moment and appreciate what an incredible track "The Human Compulsion" is?
Dunno.
"King" is very good (best track in the lot for me) but it also is much darker than both the original Keepers were, should even the comparison be with "Halloween"—which has a jolly/happy metal side, with the Peanuts reference and the polka-like riff towards the end. While "King" remains...
Legacy was only titled "Keeper of the Seven Keys" because "Rabbit Don't Come Easy" had failed and they wanted to secure incomes with a Keeper-centric tour.
It had nothing to share with the OG twin albums. Different band, sound, even the main songwriting contributions.
He's trying to become one, yeah. Has put out some half a dozen pieces of instrumental / alternative rock, one of which co-written with Noah Yorke (son of Radiohead's Thom Yorke), and his first EP recently.
Meanwhile Dylan Gers has put out an EP, Melancholic Madman:

and a new single, Scars on the Soul:
(Some The X Factor vibes here and there, and the last solo is 100% Janick-esque).
Nicko spoke surprisingly freely here—I wasn't expecting him to mention that Dave, notoriously very private, is now a grandad.
But I mean, it was in the air. Dave'll be 70 in 10 months—Steve in 10 days—and Adrian and Janick are not kids either. Coolest grandads in the world, but still grandads...
@AncientMariner_Essex has a point, and I say it as a researcher myself (although in a completely different field).
I don't doubt @Luisma's careful research nor his bona fide, but in all honesty, €120 for three books, one of which at the second edition already (in only five years!) and the other...
IMHO, if they push on the theme of 'kid(s) from East End with a dream', it's not entirely inappropriate. There's an old story about a label being open to sign them in the very early days, but on the condition that they cut their hair to align with the punk fashion; and you can imagine Steve's...
