Queensryche's "Promised Land" isn't metal

Although Empire is the start of the band's transition from their progressive/heavy metal sound to mainstream hard rock, it's Promised Land that's where the rock side is beginning to overpower the metal side. This is mostly just radio-friendly hard rock with pieces of alt-rock, prog-rock, and grunge. Only the grunge-metal of the embarrassing "Damaged" and the progressive metal of the shining title track count as legit metal songs. With that I'd like to send Queensryche's "Promised Land" to the Hall with two entries for the album to be removed from 1. The Guardians and 2. The Infinite, so that it can be deemed non-metal.
