You should take a look at some of progressive rock's epics. Rush's 2112, Yes' Close to the Edge, Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick, etc.
Plenty of songs have a lot to get across and 5 or less minutes just doesn't cut it. Especially for music as complex as progressive. Regardless of what I think of Metallica personally, they were a talented group that made fairly complex music for their genre and I don't think they dragged those songs out.
I couldn't imagine what a 4 minute Close to the Edge would sound like. What a limited way of seeing music.
