KENT’S KORNER
MWNG is a collection of generally laid back, slightly-folky indie rock sung in Welsh. It’s good, it’s fine, it’s not particularly memorable. CHOCOLATE STARFISH is… well, let’s just say that if it kept to like a 40m runtime, we’d be talking a bonehead classic, not unlike say I GET WET. Unfortunately, it’s a little too, uh, ambitious I guess, for its own good.
MWNG: Like
CHOCOLATE STARFISH AND THE HOT DOG FLAVORED WATER: Interesting/Like
