Manilla Road's "Invasion" album isn't metal

Underground legends Manilla Road would later go on to be known for a particularly epic brand of metal but I’m not actually sure that I’d even call their 1980 debut album “Invasion” a metal record. To my ears it’s a combination of the progressive rock of Rush, the classic heavy metal of Judas Priest & the spacey psycheledic rock of Hawkwind however I'd argue that there’s probably more prog rock going on than anything else with the only obviously metal track being the weakest track on the album by a fair margin (see “Street Jammer”). I'd like to see "Invasion" removed from The Guardians & added to Non-Metal.
