What is this term 'analytical' ?


I see this routinely in reviews & comments and so do you:

It’s too analytical. It’s so analytical that it’s not musical. Etc.

What does this mean? You can actually hear stuff? You picture math problems on a chalkboard? A shrink’s couch?

Isn’t the entire point of this hobby to hear music clearly? But apparently: not too clearly?

In my opinion analytical means lack of body to the tones/sounds

Example: when vocals sound as though they are confined to the 'head voice', instead of the chest, or with a string instrument you hear only the attack without the body of the instrument
