Enuff Z'Nuff "Animals With Human Intelligence (Japan, Arista, BMG Victor Hard 'N' Heavy Dynamites Series, BVCA-608)"

Animals with Human Intelligence is the third studio album by the American rock band Enuff Z'nuff and is also their only album on Arista Records. Original drummer Vikki Foxx left the group right after the recording sessions ended, to join Vince Neil's band. In addition to the promotional video for the song "Right by Your Side," the band made a live appearance on the Late Night with David Letterman TV show, performing the song "Superstitious". The song "Innocence" was released as a follow-up single, however, none of the album's singles charted on the US Hot 100.

This record was not as successful as their prior releases in the US, but the band did find some success overseas. Singer Donnie Vie and bassist Chip Z'Nuff did a promotional tour of Japan, where the album peaked at No. 49 on the Oricon Charts. The Japanese issue of the album also included the exclusive track "Fingertips". The album was later re-issued in 2000 on Spitfire Records with new artwork and "Fingertips" now included.

In 1996, the song "Bring It On Home" was to be featured in the movie Jerry Maguire, starring Tom Cruise. However, the song only appears listed in the credits and was not in the actual film, since it was in a deleted scene. The song "Rock N World" was featured in the 2011 direct-to-video film Dahmer vs. Gacy.

The song "Right by Your Side" was covered by the Norwegian rock group The Tuesdays in 1994. The same song was also covered in 2009 on G.O.O.D. Morning, G.O.O.D. Night by Malik Yusef, a Kanye West collaboration album. Yusef's version of the song also features Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams on backing vocals.
