68. Scorpions / Animal Magnetism. 1980. 3/5.

Following up the brilliant Lovedrive was always going to be dodgy. Whether the boys meant to or not, they have moved direction a little here again, in order not to have the style compared to their previous release.

This is your good, everyday, type of album release. There are no surprises, no out-of-the-ordinary tracks. Just nine solid Scorpions songs, some better than others. The tempo is probably a bit slower than I would like, but a lot of Scorps stuff is like that.

I particularly like The Zoo, Make It Real and Animal Magnetism. They, for me, are the strongest songs on the album.

Rating : It sits right there in the middle. 3/5.
