Metallica's problem is that they don't have any writers in the band any longer.
The first two albums were written by Dave Mustaine, who was gone before they recorded them.
They then survived on the stuff that Cliff Burton wrote, for two albums after his death.
Like Gary says, Death Magnetic is the first thing they've done themselves that even approches that that Mustaine/Burton did in the 1980's.
