What exactly is critical listening? Who does it?


I'm supposed to listen to every single instrument within a mixture of instruments. And somehow evaluate every aspect of what I'm listening to and somehow all this is critical listening.

This is supposed to bring enjoyment?

I'm just listening for the Quality of what I'm listening to with all the instruments playing and how good they sound hopefully. 

And I'm tired of answering that I'm not a robot all the time. That's being critical.

I smoke some weed and the listening gets critical immediately. Highly recommended. (unintentional pun)

Yeah...those damn tympany players need to be reigned in...the good news for me is there are close to zero of them in my normal listening...small jazz combos, shoe gaze banjo, mope metal, mope mope, no mope, etc.
