Wait wait wait..... Operation Mindcrime was the album in question. Pick 2 songs off of that. You're going against your own rules of metal. If this album means Queensryche as a whole is metal then this should extend to all bands regardless of departure from the genre.

Almost all fans of Queensryche "Operation Mindcrime" will tell you it is a progressive metal album. Personally when I actually listen to it, I certainly hear progressive metal, but also hear hard rock-opera but it's quite more complex than just saying 'rock' it has a concept and is brilliant no matter how you want to spin it.
