Miley Cyrus built Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz as a pop record that refuses to sit still. It runs 23 tracks and 92 minutes, and it wants to prove she can do anything from dance-pop to spoken-word performance art. That ambition is the whole point. Whether it delivers on it is another matter.
Track List Walkthrough
The record opens with “Dooo It!” and “Karen Don’t Be Sad,” two tracks that set the tone of self-mythology and cheeky confession. “The Floyd Song (Sunrise)” and “Something About Space Dude” lean into cosmic metaphor, while “Space Bootz” turns the concept into pure pop fun. Then comes “Fuckin Fucked Up,” a 50-second burst of noise that functions as a palate cleanser before “BB Talk” brings back the conversational intimacy.
“Fweaky,” “Bang Me Box,” and “Milky Milky Milk” form a loose middle stretch where the album’s looseness starts to show. None of them are bad, but none of them demand a second listen either. “Slab of Butter (Scorpion)” and “I’m So Drunk” keep things moving, the latter barely over a minute. “I Forgive Yiew” and “I Get So Scared” slow the pace down, and “Lighter” and “Tangerine” return to the atmospheric sound that works best for her.
“Tiger Dreams” runs nearly six minutes and is the album’s boldest swing — a psychedelic trip that mostly lands. “Evil Is but a Shadow” and “Cyrus Skies” follow, both solid but unremarkable. “1 Sun” closes out the main body of the record, a short, meditative coda. “Miley Tibetan Bowlzzz” is a two-minute instrumental interlude that doesn’t add much. “Pablow the Blowfish” and “Twinkle Song” round out the back half, ending the record on a note of whimsy.
What Works and What Doesn’t
The album’s best moments are its most committed ones. “Fuckin Fucked Up” commits fully to absurdity, and “Tiger Dreams” commits fully to weirdness. Those flashes of genuine personality are the reason the record is worth sitting through its weaker stretches.
The problem is that those stretches are long. “Fweaky,” “Bang Me Box,” and “Milky Milky Milk” are competent but interchangeable. They don’t embarrass the record, but they don’t justify its length either. The record’s indulgence shows most when it stops being playful and starts being repetitive.
The spoken-word interludes and shorter tracks like “I’m So Drunk” feel like filler dressed up as experimentation. Some of them work — “Fuckin Fucked Up” is a genuine highlight — but most of them just pad the running time.
Final Word
Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz is a record that knows exactly what it wants to be. It wants to be a sprawling, eclectic statement of identity, full of personality and risk. It gets there in flashes — “Fuckin Fucked Up,” “Tiger Dreams” — but spends too much time in the middle stretching out to prove it can be long.
The record is uneven, but its ambition is real. It rewards attention in its strongest stretches and tests patience in its weakest ones. It’s a vanity project in the truest sense — made because Miley Cyrus could, and wanted to, and that freedom is visible in the best moments even when it isn’t in the worst.
