Has anyone else heard the soundtrack to Hamilton? I'm wondering what you guys think about it.

I'm a big fan. I was skeptical when I first heard about this idea of a rap opera about Alexander Hamilton. The concept sounds like an unworkable juxtaposition on paper but luckily Lin-Manuel Miranda is a goddamn genius. Hamilton is loaded with complex meters and rhyme schemes, brilliant lyricism, and a sharp modern sense of humor. Miranda's not a disciple of the Lil Wayne school of rap. And it's not just rap. Throughout, this musical takes a lot of cues from more symphonic music and the sort of tunes you normally hear in musicals. It's a superbly well-crafted and enjoyable two-and-a-half hour experience. Well worth a purchase if you see the soundtrack at Barnes And Noble or wherever if you ask me.
