AMG Review of Pet Rock

Jim Newsom
All Music Guide

"Disappearing" is a magnificent piece of production and song construction, a hit-that-shoulda-been. With ringing guitars, shimmering vocal harmonies and a concise lyric, this leadoff track is three minutes and forty five seconds of pop music heaven. The rest of the album is potent power-pop, fueled by glistening guitar chords, hummable melodies, Todd Rundgren-ish vocals, and Gus Dudgeon's crystal clear production. This is an album that should have been heard, but wasn't.
