The Interactive Visual I have chosen to Analyze/ Critique is called "VINYL - Music Info Visualization" made by Tae Prasongpongchai, Xi Chen, Benjamin Du Preez, McKenzie Murphy
Visualization can be found at: https://kenziemurphy.github.io/vinyl/
The site states that this is a tool for "Comparing Music Artists through Visualization ."
From interacting with the site I discovered that the purpose goes further, in that users can understand the commonalities among all music, but also the nuances from artist to artist. Users can discover relationships between different aspects of music and explore their favorite artist but potentially discover songs/artists they may have not known existed.
