    Eu estou muito orgulhoso da miley, um amadurecimento incrivel do Bangerz para o "
    Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz". Mostra o que ainda ela tem pra mostrar e nos surpreender a cada dia mais na musica. Album maravilhoso

    This album is exceptionally different for Miley. The raw elements she showed created strong emotion, and her talent really shines through on most songs.

    Miley's "dead petz" is melodically amazing, but, in the same time, it's a party of sounds that change your perspective of the album in every song. I call this the best "get out of mainstream" of the year, like Carly Rae Jepsen did with her new album.

    It'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

    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.

    Miley conseguiu fazer um álbum pra revolucionar o pop, seguindo os passos da Gaga e fazendo algo mais conceitual, além de 23 faixas incriveis, a voz dela continua brilhando como vimos na Era Bangerz.

    I heard more than three times the whole album to think about the songs, the lyrics and I can say one thing: this album is extremely deep, clean and honest. The truest Miley's album so far. Thrilling to hear songs like "Fweaky", "Cyrus Skies", "Karen Don't Be Sad", "Lighter". Congratulations for you amazing job, Miley.

    Melhor registro musical que ela lança desde sua estréia na indústria da música, este álbum é o mais pessoal dela, diferente dos outros álbuns, ela escreveu 10 músicas dele sozinha, um álbum composto todo por ela, o melhor de todos que ela já lançou

    Eu adorei esse álbum, são muito diferentes dos álbuns antigos, achei corajoso da parte da Miley arriscar nesse 'novo estilo' mas ainda bem que arriscou, pois o álbum está ótimo, isso só nos mostra que a Miley é uma artista completa!

    I listened to this album thinking it would be a step down from her previous work on Bangerz, but the more I listened to it, the more I feel the emotion and depth she wanted to display, I am truly a fan Miley

    This album is a experimental project, and it's perfect. Just sounds how Miley's voice is good and what she can do. Miley can sing pop, country and indie/urban, this only shows us her versatility. It was produced and written by her and Wayne/Mike, and it's just so good. Dope.

    Esse album foi bastante inovador, não foi repetitivo igual os outros albuns pop's e o melhor de tudo é que a Própria Miley produziu o album, mostrando um talento natural, diferente de algumas pessoas.

    For the people who says, 'Is the album of the millenium'
    Please, wash your ears, and listen to good music!

    Most of the critics are missing out on a terrific album. Glad to see unanimous high scores from the general public. I was not a fan prior to Bangerz.

Glad to see unanimous high scores from the general public. I was not a fan prior to Bangerz. Bangerz started turning my head a bit with her music direction, but didn't completely win me over... then I started hearing about her hanging with Wayne, reading interviews, seeing interviews, and began to see some serious faerie power blossom. She was beginning to speak out in positivity for others, be herself, and start the homeless organization for LGBTQ youth. Officially, my head was turned. Intuitively, I began to feel that she was on the verge of her best chapter of music, art and creativity. I started believing that her next album was going to be a triumph. Once I heard the live debut of "Tiger Dreams" that became more validated. Suffice it to say, all of this culminated to this week with her new album drop and it is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be and soooo much more. Risky, garage-y, unpolished yet polished, vulnerable, real, uncensored, free-spirited, imperfectly perfect, awake, conscious... Miley has just stepped to the leader of the pop pack for me, personally. The fact that she has the courage to believe in and stand up for her own musical integrity when all her handlers were freaking out about this new direction says a lot about her. Her joy and humor and passion comes through the music and reflects the last two years of what I have seen in the press. She isn't a hater, all I see is love vibes... major faerie vibes. This messy pop masterpiece encompasses all of that and more. It is like an hour and a half headtrip totally worth taking... and it ends in a strange, oddly healing space, as well. It's cray-cray and weird yet immensely addictive and melodic. I can't get enough of this album. It is currently my #1 pop album of the year and #2 overall best album of the year regardless of genre. Miley has officially won a new fan. I knew in all of my being this was coming and what a pure delight to experience it manifest. She is an inspiration for us all to not be afraid to be ourselves in a life-affirming, multi-dimensional, uplifting, liberative fashion. Go, go, Miley! Stay true to you and this path is going to get really exciting. It has only just begun! This is a gift.

    "The world can still be beautiful, but that part's up to you." - Sums it all up for me.

    Peace, love, light, faerie power!

    I think first thing come to your mind was 'wtf' but trust me, this is MILEY CYRUS. Not only she getting personal with her music and also it was great. It's kinda like very hipster-ish album. I love it! It kinda show different side of miley. A country miley cyrus. It was not as great as bangerz but I think you should give it a try! xx

    I think this is Miley's best album yet. It really shows a different side of her, a more emotional side. She really outdid herself. She's really breaking the boundaries. I hope to hear more songs like "I get so scared" "lighter" "Karen don't b sad" and "bang me box"

    An album that wasn't recorded on a fancy studio with such quality, shows how talented the artist and the two producers are. We can here from the natural voice of Miley to an altered experiment of her voice with psychedelic sounds mastered by Wayne Coyne and Mike-Will-Made-It. All messages that the songs bring are important for creating a better world, with no judgement and violence andAn album that wasn't recorded on a fancy studio with such quality, shows how talented the artist and the two producers are.

    Disgusting!! A massive step down from Bangerz; This Is Disgraceful. Such overuse on Auto-Tune on ALL the songs. This album is an abomination!! This album really isn't something to be proud of Miley Cyrus.

    How is this even music? This album is lower than trash. It is straight up rat s**t straight from the deepest depths of a L.A sewer. Miley Cyrus is disgrace to the music industry.

    Miley Cyrus and her dead petz offers an adventure of music of miley cyrus. "Dooo it", "Karen Don't be Sad", "Bang Me Box" "BB Talk", "Lighter", "Milky Milky Milk" are stand outs

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really really really LOVE this. the songs are surprisingly good and it's definitely not for the average listener it requires more than just 1 listen. Ignoring who Miley Cyrus is as a person there are a handful of songs that I gravitated to. Karen Don't Be Sad gives off a Hey Jude kinda vibe. Lighter is DEF one of my faves since it sounds like an 80's track and sounds like something that would feature on a Breakfast Club soundtrack or something. BB Talk is a cruising with you girlfriends on the weekend fun pop song. 1 Sun is without a doubt her 2015 version of Wake Up America (via Breakout 2008). She's defiantly a versatile artist which makes her stand out from her fellow former Disney alums. It leads me to believe that she definitely has what it takes to maybe snatch a Grammy one day and certify a pop icon status. I'm impressed Expand

    I really like this album. I thought it was going to be way worse. Althogh it's not her typical commercial album with better music, it's been very kind of her to give it for free to her fans.

    Good music, bad choice for lead single though. Loved "Karen Don't be Sad" "Cyrus Skies" "Tiger Dreams" and "The Twinkle Song", the lyrics are more profound than Bangerz, seriously I don't quite get why a lot of people say this album is bad, I actually think Dead Petz is by far her best album.

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

    Dead Petz isn't inherently ugly; in fact, there are many gorgeous moments. These moments tend to not go anywhere, though, and they are surrounded by mostly superfluous and even boring songs.

    While not everything here succeeds (much of the album is, in fact, a sprawling mess of ideas) Cyrus deserves a great deal of credit for unabashedly taking chances with her music, her image, both past and present, and what will ultimately be her controversial legacy within pop music.
