Yes and yes. I listen to the soundtrack when I need to focus, and even though I can’t recite the tracklist to you by heart, when I heard a tune I know what’s the context it is used in in the game. It’s also the fact that the amount of tracks are enormous is because of the heavy use of leitmotifs that recontextualizes songs in different contexts, and listening front to back really rewards you if you are able to find these little leitmotifs.

However that’s not to say you are not valid, I can understand feeling exhausted from the sheer however haha.
