Is it metal? Most definitely so! Just because it sounds polished, there is no reason to say its not metal.

Yeah I know all that but the polished quality is not what makes me not consider Queensryche metal. They just seem like really good hard rock to me.
For that matter, so does Van Halen. And I hate Def Leppard, although I wouldn't consider them metal either.

Meh, I've just never been able to get into Dookie. Not a huge fan of pop punk anyway.
