Обложка была сделана дизайнерской фирмой Hipgnosis и, так же, как и ранние обложки Scorpions, вызвала много споров. RIAA (The Recording Industry Association of America) признала альбом Animal Magnetism' Золотым в марте 1984 года и Платиновым в октябре 1991 года.

Группа, наконец, совершила прорыв в Северной Америке. Второй тур Scorpions по США стал триумфальным. Началась эра грандиозных Турне Scorpions.

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, Animal Magnetism isn't a highlight of the Scorpions' career.
