Sorry man, Metallica sold out with their self titled album. 'Garage Days', 'Ride the Lightning' - those were albums. Then they wrote a love song.

I agree with you to a point. The first few albums after the Black album were poor. But their last two have been a lot like their early stuff. Especially this track.
Meh. Better musically, but the lyrics don't have the power that I like. They seem contrived, not genuine. Like their albums since the Black album.
Take for example one of the best albums in recent history, Disturbeds' "Immortalized". Here's some powerful metal:
Nobody does a guitar solo duet like Disturbed.
Or Sonata Arctica, in the 'Symphonic Metal' category. Also some incredible lyrics.
"Every night when I'm looking at the full moon rising,
I hold you and know that we are FREE!"
Great music, great story.
