I've got a MacBook Pro running OS 10.13.6 with iTunes 12.8.2.3 and I've noticed that, after one of the recent updates, Visualizer doesn't seem to interact with the music anymore. Both Visualizer and Classic start and play but they just play as if the music is paused. Pretty boring.
Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I'm really curious if this is a glitch or if there's some setting I'm not aware of.

As mentioned in the above article, if the music you are playing includes a video, the visualizer shows the video by default and could cause some interruption such as what you are experiencing. Check into your settings as suggested in that article.
If the issue remains, and continues even after restarting your Mac and iTunes, I would recommend making sure your Mac is updated to the latest compatible macOS: How to update the software on your Mac - Apple Support.
Let me know if you are still having issues with this after reviewing the above mentioned articles.
Take care!
