For Monkeys is the third album by the Swedish punk rock group Millencolin. It was released on April 20, 1997. Originally to be entitled Four Monkeys because of an inside joke in which the band members called each other monkeys, someone told them that For Monkeys would be a better title, so they decided on that instead.
"Puzzle", the opening track, provides background as to the development of the record. They state that they have mostly been touring and that "inspiration has been hard this time and honestly/I've had some problems with all these rhymes". Incidentally, the band has mentioned this album as a disappointment compared to their other recordings. It goes on to describe the tracks as "less of ska" and details the sessions involved in recording the tracks: "Nine to five at Unisound in January '97/We had the greatest time, with Dan as engineer".
