Yes, not acid-friendly...It's all about the very weird but intentional guitar tuning... GReedDiamond Mar 2019 #4

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.
