Metallica's Best Album Is Still To Come

(Classic Rock) Metallica frontman James Hetfield says the band "haven't yet" made their best album. The thrash giants issue 10th album Hardwired� To Self-Destruct on November 18. And while they are pleased with how it has turned out, Hetfield insists the band continue to get better with every record.

At a Q&A with fans in Mexico, Hetfield says: "The next album is always going to be the better one. We haven't made our best record yet. We're continuing to keep improving ourselves as people, as musicians, as just human beings."

Asked why they took so long to follow-up 2008's Death Magnetic, Hetfield urges fans to keep up the pressure on the band to deliver an 11th album. He says: "It took a long time. People got mad. And I realised when we were playing the album for some of the journalists that it's such a great feeling to give birth to new music and how it makes other people feel made me feel good.

"So I don't know why we waited so long. Make sure we don't wait so long again, okay?" Watch the interview here.
