    Dead Petz offers an uncensored look at Miley Cyrus’ id and it’s a distillation of an artist’s soul that is both rare and wonderful, delivered so effortlessly off-the-cuff that it may occasionally sound haphazard. But there’s always an exacting method to her freewheeling madness.

    [A] strange, frequently beautiful, and unabashedly indulgent album.

    Ultimately, there’s something genuinely courageous and admirable about Cyrus’s ambitions with Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz. Sure, it’s way too long, and flamboyantly self-indulgent; but it’s free, and it’s fun.

    Miley Cyrus And Her Dead Petz is surely the weirdest album made by a massive pop star in recent memory, but more impressively, it's also an essential listen.

    Her latest has a surplus of them [uniformly great songs]. It suggests Cyrus, at 22, has figured out how to present her views in a way that’s still powerful but also musically interesting and cohesive.

    Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz needs an editor, but there's more than enough worthwhile music here to transcend shock value.

    Most of Dead Petz sounds pretty much like the Lips' latter-day output--she aims for Coyne-like high notes that don't suit her lowdown voice. But she scores wacko successes like "Milky Milky Milk," "Cyrus Skies" and "Slab of Butter (Scorpion)," along with cameos from Big Sean, Ariel Pink and producer Mike Will Made It.

    It's actually really good, there's 'Bangerz' hip-hop influence, like 'Dooo It', 'I Forgive Yiew' and '1 Sun', but also really beautiful songsIt's actually really good, there's 'Bangerz' hip-hop influence, like 'Dooo It', 'I Forgive Yiew' and '1 Sun', but also really beautiful songs like 'Karen Don't Be Sad', 'The Floyd Song (Sunrise)', 'I Get So Scared' and the beautiful 'Twinkle Song'.
    This is a journey through sex ('Milky Milky Milk', 'Bang Me Box'), drugs ('Dooo It!'), alcohol ('I'm So Drunk'), space ('Something About Space Dude', 'Space Boots'), dreams ('Twinkle Song', 'Tiger Dreams') and of course, her dead pets ('The Floyd Song (Sunrise)', 'Pablow The Blowfish').
    Truly recommend.    … Full Review »
