Although
Animal Magnetism
contains such classic songs as
"The Zoo"
and
"Make It Real,"
the album is somewhat disappointing when compared to its predecessor,
Lovedrive
. The well-written songs on this album end up saving it from total disaster, and it's obvious the band wasn't sure what to exactly put on this record -- many of the songs sound like the work of some other
rock
group and simply don't blend together as they should. Singer
Klaus Meine
, known for his excellent vocal performances, sounds bored and just plain overshadowed. Although far from bad,
isn't a highlight of
the Scorpions
' career. ~ Barry Weber
