Animal Magnetism

The first album with longtime guitarist Mathias Jabs, Magnetism was the first clear sign that the Scorpions were embracing the new '80s American metal sound and leaving their Uli-style psychedelics at the door. It featured the concert favorites "The Zoo" and "Make It Real," and another tasteful, classic Scorpions album cover featuring a woman on her knees, in front of the crotch of a guy holding a beer, with his hand in his pocket, standing next to a Doberman Pincher. Wow!
