I'm gathering you'd be a Mozart man?
Not at all, I'm huge Metallica fan. But by the time the Black Album came around Metallica IMHO had spent all their good creative capital. It's not a bad album by any means, but there are some songs with just rubbish lyrics, and Nothing Else Matters is just one example. It's not worth comparing to any of the other four albums that preceded it that had some great lyrics ("Kill' Em All" was a bit juvenile, but still cool in a teenage metalhead f**k you attitude kind of way). By the time 1990-1991 came around it seemed like Metallica (or Hetfield and Lars) had nothing really to say. The only upside was the 'groovier' production and the reemergence of the bass from "...Justice", although this doesn't outweigh the average lyrics and riffery.
I've seen Metallica live 5 times, and every time you see someone walking out with the bar stool that James sits on for the song is the low point of the set.
