Pet Rock is the second and final album by English band the Sinceros. The album was released worldwide and achieved moderate commercial success. The album has been released on CD by Wounded Bird. Originally intended to be released under the title 2nd Debut in 1980, the album reached the test pressing stage but was recalled by Epic Records and reworked into Pet Rock under the guidance of producer Gus Dudgeon. Dudgeon is credited with the band and Paul Riley.




Critical reception



Trouser Press, comparing the album to the band's debut, wrote that it "removes any trace of oddness and fails to deliver the cleverness that would have redeemed it."
AllMusic deemed the album "potent power-pop, fueled by glistening guitar chords, hummable melodies, Todd Rundgren-ish vocals, and Gus Dudgeon's crystal clear production."
