Look man, I don't find heavy metal to be appealing anymore. The sound is too harsh to enjoy for me. I used to love that hard stuff; as I used to like Korn in grade school. But now, since I have become a rap fan, the music of LP is more sppealing to me. When I say better instrumentation (Torkel and Bes), I mean that the sound of the guitar, the turntables, the special effects, and the drums are just more harmonius to me. Thats all, than just hard guitar playing. It just sounds better than the hard metallica stuff. Its not that great anyway. And the lyrics? I'm not sure what you mean Torkel, but yes some old clichees are there. But generic? Hardly. And I have played the guitar in my lifetime.
