About this album

Animal Magnetism is a hard-driving 1980 Scorpions album that helped sharpen the band’s riff-heavy hard rock into a more focused, international sound. Built around the line-up of Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs, the record balances swaggering heavy rock with the cooler pulse of ‘The Zoo’ and the title track, both of which became fan favourites. It arrived as the German band’s profile was rising beyond Europe, and its polished-but-aggressive approach pointed towards the crossover success that would soon follow in the early 1980s. The album remains a key step in Scorpions’ evolution from cult hard rock act to arena-level name.
