6th studio album by Lars H.U.G co-produced by Peter Juul Kristensen and with Oli Poulsen as assistant producer. The album is H.U.G.'s first studio album in 7 years and stylistically, it's like a continued journey focusing on harmonic jazz pop like his previous album from '96.
I bought the album on its release date without having heard one single track from it, and I also remember my immediate disappointment as feeling that the album was without anything other than half-mediocre vocal pop harmonies.
Imho, Save Me From This Rock 'n' Roll is no less than his least interesting album, and except from the review in Gaffa (see below) it was also met by harsh and negative reviews and after a few months, H.U.G. announced that this album would be his very last - though, he also stated that before...
