The unpredictable, daring Miley Cyrus has been teasing for more than a month about a rumored album. During the VMAs, which she was hosting, she continued to hint towards an upcoming album. Later that same night, she released “Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz” on SoundCloud. Her fans are ecstatic over her new music, and Miley’s experimentation with psychedelic pop, with a very prominent coming-of-age theme.

According to The Independent, “Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz is at once a grand folly and a brave proclamation of her determination to follow her muse wherever it leads. It’s also one of the most honest, at times embarrassingly open, accounts of a female pop star’s inner life.”

Miley’s first official album, “Bangerz”, has a very pop sound to it, which worked and resonated well with her audience. On this new album, she explores a sound that is best described as an organized mess; layered recordings and messy singing make the album exceptionally unique, while the titles and lyrics are ones that aren’t like traditional music.

Some of her songs, like “Slab of Butter”, are out of the ordinary of what you would normally hear on the radio, which is exactly what Cyrus is working towards.

“I created my surroundings, my own world,” she said. “What seems like fantasy or trippy, it’s not to me. It’s my actual reality.”

With Cyrus’s big change in personality since her “Hannah Montana” days, she has been able to present a raw version of her personality, glitter and all. While some think that Cyrus is a musical genius when it comes to marketing, others think she’s just looking for attention.

Spin Magazine commented, “No one in pop history has ever been thirstier for total inscrutability while simultaneously being so clueless about how to attain it.”

Cyrus’s album has themes varying from drugs and partying, as heard in “Lighter” and “Miley Tibetan Bowlzzz”, to more serious topics about death and loss, like “Karen Don’t Be Sad” and “The Floyd Song.”

“Some found ‘Bangerz’ to be legitimately fun, just like some will find ‘Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz’ to be legitimately weird,” said Spin Magazine.
