Yes, not acid-friendly...It's all about the very weird but intentional guitar tuning...

I'd nod my head along and probably say ... 'Hey, that was pretty damn cool and trippy. Very creative, dude!'
But that's about the most I can say for it.

...although, I would prefer NOT to be "baked or tripping" upon hearing it for the first time.

...the second video goes into extreme detail about the string-by-string tuning used...this was not simply a "badly tuned/out of tune" guitar, recorded within minimally sufficient means...everything about it was calculated and totally intentional.
The fact that it is almost - or more likely - completely unlistenable to most people is what I like about it.
