Review
The U.S. version of the British Animalisms album removed the loose jam "Clapping," and the superb "Squeeze Her - Tease Her" and "That's All I Am to You" are removed in favor of the hits "Don't Bring Me Down," "See See Rider," and "Inside - Looking Out" -- it's still a great record, if not as cohesive as the U.K. version, and was the last original Animals LP to attract many buyers in the U.S. The song content of both versions has been assembled on Repertoire's 2000 release of Animalisms. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi| Animality (2007 Album by Tooth) | |

Animalization is the fourth American album by British R&B group The Animals. It has a track listing somewhat similar to the British album Animalisms. The album, which reached #20 on the US Billboard album chart, included three US Top 40 singles.
It was during this period that drummer John Steel left the group and was replaced by Barry Jenkins, previously of The Nashville Teens (of "Tobacco Road" fame). Both drummers appear on the cover, Jenkins on the front (upper right in brown shirt) and Steel on the back.
