Sure, this probably helps you focus better than a standard studio album.

I would argue that 90% of the benefit of this music is just from the extended intervals of contiguous playing, so there's no "break" disruption. I think any DJ (esp. deep house) worth half their salt can get someone "in the zone" for half an hour at a time. And artists devoted to minimalist ambient or trambient can get you going for hours straight.

Honestly the "Focus: Intense" or whatever I find super annoying. It's got this constant anxious buildup feel to it and never fucking breaks into what I would consider that peak when I start playin my keyboard like a goddamn piano.

Basically, no fucking way would I even consider shelling out an additional Spotify subscription for some "high tech" whale song machine.

The feeling you described reminds me of the genre "jersey club" -- you can spend hours in a buildup that never breaks into a drop. Absolutely horrific, I don't understand the genre at all.
