5.0 out of 5 starsWarning: It's Awesome
September 25, 2015
Warning: Don't want your spouse to smack you? your kids to kick your shins? Then avoid this album at ALL COSTS. You'll ignore them. all. Brushing off this warning may cause severe feel good feely feelings. You may experience a spell of charisma, nostalgia, intrigue, etc. Once you've reached elation, forget calling for help. The addiction has now taken you. Soon your family will start experimenting with this album and know Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton are more than just a trivia question from the Got Milk commercial from 1993. Everyone loses.

Truth be told and joking aside, I can't get enough of this album. The source material is certainly not all "feel good", but the retelling of Hamilton's journey was masterful. The musical blend by Miranda was hypnotic and brought up doses of nostalgia. Everything from the instrumental echoes of Grandmaster Flash to the slick rhymes of 80s/90s Hip Hop intertwined and woven with past Broadway styles was truly a fantastic experience for me. As for the story, I won't spoil the content of the album. That would be stealing an opportunity from you. I'll leave it at this:

I enjoyed this album enough to:
-sing along with it
-move along with it
-make plans to fly out to Broadway to watch and support this show
-most importantly: find out more about Alexander Hamilton beyond the 1993 Got Milk commercial

I hope you enjoy this album as much as I have

1.0 out of 5 starsADVERTISED AS CLEAN BUT ITS NOT CLEAN
January 1, 2018
My daughter listens to the “clean” version of Hamilton 24/7 on YouTube so I was glad when I saw I could buy her the “clean” CD version. Well, it’s not the clean version and I’m so disappointed I spent money on a Christmas present that was advertised as clean but is not. Total waste of money.

4.0 out of 5 starsAmazing musical, but not "clean" (words listed)
July 12, 2016
Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
Fantastic as always, but not "clean" for kids (words listed but edited to be in compliance with Amazon's review policy)

Hamilton is an absolute masterpiece--educational, singable, rousing, inspiring. I won't go on and on about it because I assume that anyone looking to buy has heard clips of it before, but needless to say--it's absolutely worth it. I was excited to see a "clean" version coming out because my four-year-old loves to sing along with me, and it was becoming a bit of a pain to sing loudly over swear words and the part about having s** with horses.

The soundtrack comes in a double-cd case with one booklet for each cd (act). The case itself is a little flimsy and has already popped apart several times, but does pop back together. The booklets detail the cast and crew, full lyrics for each song, and inspirational elements, which were very interesting. Some were more obvious (Ten Duel Commandments taking inspiration from Ten Crack Commandments), but some were more subtle (Cabinet Battle 1 containing elements of The Message), and it was great to be able to sit down and listen and think about what Lin-Manuel Miranda was thinking when he composed his songs.

I removed a star because the album is not "clean" as advertised. I expect a clean album to contain the original material, but remove, at the least, swear words (the d, s, and f words). At the most, suggestive elements might be removed ("lock up your daughters and horses, of course it's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets"). I didn't expect this cd to necessarily go one way or another, but I was irritated to realize that it didn't bleep out a lot of the swearing. I would've expected the D word to be edited out.

I think the easiest way to make your decision is to know exactly what's left in. Now, I don't mind all of these words, I just would've liked avoiding screaming some of them out the car window with my kid--but I've included any word I think anyone MIGHT possibly object to, even if I don't, just so people know whether they need to avoid this or whether it doesn't bother them at all.

Here goes: bas****, wh***, d*** God (as an exclamation), "Come again", "Lock up your daughters and horses," interc***se, G and d, p*ss, h*ll (as a place), h*ll (as an exclamation), *ss, a cut-off f, wh*reson, Jes** Chr*** (as an exclamation), and pr*ck.

Bleeped out: s***, f***, mother****

Edited 7/23 to add words.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot as clean as I'd like, but with proactive parenting, my kids are still getting educated through Hamilton
September 30, 2016
Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
I LOVE musical theatre, and Hamilton is one of the best musicals I've heard. Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius and my kids have memorized 1/2 the album (the first half).

I do wish this had been more thoroughly edited for my children (and myself, frankly). Everyone has sensitivities to various things, and harsh language is something I really don't want in my home, or engraved into my children's minds. Having said that, I've been able to educate my kids about what words mean, what makes a word vulgar and ask how certain songs and certain words make them feel, contrasting the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between them. There are some songs I haven't let them listen to at all (there's enough great music they don't miss it), and some songs (while educational) I limit the frequency. I'm able to pick the songs we listen to over and over again, like Non-Stop, Schuyler Sisters, 10 duel commandments, Meet Him Inside, Guns and Ships, Dear Theodosia...) So parents, get educated with the music and lyrics, read through them if you need to, so you can guide your children's education in regards to this musical. My kids know a lot more about this time period and these people (Hamilton, Washington, Aaron Burr, Angelica and Eliza Schuyler) than they would otherwise. Let me just say, I am a very active participant in the processing of this music with my children. And when I deem a song inappropriate, or turn down sections of the songs, I explain why. Communication about it all is the key. And this musical is well worth getting educated about!

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Music, Terrible Star
April 14, 2019
Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase
I love the music for this show, but I'm going to give a blunt, honest review. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a great writer. He isn't a great singer. I wish the album had been recorded without him. He doesn't have a good singing voice and it really shows in comparison to the other wonderful voices in this album. It's a shame he gave himself the lead role in this when it probably should have gone to someone else...at least for the recording of this album.

July 25, 2016
Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
This two-CD recording includes the words to the songs, which I like. Since I won't be able to afford to go to the show any time soon, I am happy to hear the audio portion at least. If I am fortunate enough to be able to see the show one day, I will enjoy it more knowing the words to the songs.

4.0 out of 5 starsPreparation for Seeing the Performance
October 8, 2018
Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
While the content of this CD on a standalone basis may not be considered spectacular by many it is an excellent way to prepare for seeing the performance. By hearing and digesting the lyrics in advance it should allow for a better and easier way to sit back and enjoy the performance without need to concentrate on each word that is spoken.

Excellent quality. Music is great and the lyrics do a great job of honoring the history while summing it up in slick fashion. Worth noting that my first order was missing the second disc in the set of 4 but Amazon quickly sent a full replacement.

Listening to this Hamilton sound track is like being there watching the performance on stage. Great learning tool for teachers of History. Learning through music. Should try it.

I didn't realize it would be a lot of rap. However, it's really interesting, but you sure need to read the words, especially if you were going to go see the play. Revealed things I did not learn in American history class.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Show, Great Music
December 9, 2018
Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
I listened to the music a little before seeing the show. It was good. After seeing the show, listening to the music now is great. I think that if I now see the show a second time after really getting to know the music, that too will make it even better.

Great production. I do wish I knew an easier way to access the lyrics for this in Amazon Music. The Farmer Refuted is a but hard to follow because of the dueling lyrics, so that's one I would like to read.
