Yngwie Malmsteen's "Odyssey" shouldn't qualify as neoclassical metal

As with his previous two records, Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force's 1988 fourth album "Odyssey" really doesn't include all that much in the way of neoclassical song structures. It's really just Yngwie's guitar solos & that element alone shouldn't constitute an additional genre tag. Therefore, I'd like to see "Odyssey" removed from the Neoclassical Metal genre whilst remaining under Heavy Metal which is a much more accurate reflection of the album as a whole.
