yer it's a pretty sweet sound in that album, a lot of it is high output pickups which u have, and a lot of it is pretty crazy tube distortion - which you're not going to get short of buying a $2000+ mesa however if you go out and buy a pod or a modeller there's a huge community out their dedicated to emulating metallica sounds on modellers, so it wouldn't be that hard to get a sort of similar sound.
