The Hall of Judgement: Manilla Road - Invasion

Daniel has requested that this release be submitted into the Hall of Judgement. If you agree with the below change request, vote YES. If you don't, vote NO.

Request: Manilla Road's "Invasion" album should be considered Non-Metal and therefore removed from The Guardians.

This change would remove the Heavy Metal genre from the release & see it reside under the Non-Metal tag.

Member Comment: "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."

NOTE: Only members of The Guardians can vote on this judgement. Once 15 votes of Yes or No have been entered, the Hall will make its judgement.
