The Monkey Puzzle (The Saints album)

The Monkey Puzzle is the fourth album by the Australian music group the Saints released in 1981. It was the first album to be released after Ed Kuepper left the band.

Reception
Roadrunner said, "As an LP, The Monkey Puzzle would have made a fantastic EP. The glory of the four standout tracks is matched only by the mediocrity of everything else on the album. Playing standard and sound quality are so inconsistent that the record as a whole is vaguely annoying."
