Lin shared complete Hamilton Recording "First Listen" — Page 6

"The Room Where it Happens" is probably my favorite song in the score. Not only does it so smartly combine historical depiction with important character development, it's an incredibly catchy, aurally satisfying, and impeccably performed piece of musical theatre.

I agree Kad.

It's the one-two punch of a great melody paired with intricate and insightful lyrics. It's a mini-masterpiece in a show that is itself a masterpiece.

^Lin didn't actually write that, he just reblogged it on his tumblr

This album has been on loop since it came out. There are so many references and jokes I missed during the show, I'm so happy we finally have an hq version to catch everything. This really is a show/recording that calls for repeat viewing. Props to Lin for steaming it early and also allowing it to be on Spotify so everyone can have a chance to hear it. 

Sure but I just appreciate any artist in general who willing to put their music on a free model 

Has anyone written up a plotline of the musical? I'm putting almost everything together from the cast recording but there are little things I'm stumbling on. (I know it's history, but it has differences, and it's such broad history. Though maybe it being history is why nobody's done this on WP.)

I need to listen to this more but my first impressions are..it's definitely just a musical (I know this sounds ridiculous but given the hype around this show, sometimes it's hard to forget), though a high quality musical with an interesting and sometimes addictive score. As an Australian who has never really studied US history at all, I can't say I find it to be the most engaging subject matter. But this might build with time.

I literally cannot stop listening to Helpless / Satisfied. Also You'll Be Back, What else are people listening to on repeat???

The Schuyler Sisters and Satisfied are up there. The ladies are SLAYING this score.

Wait for It and Satisfied. 

And the other day I danced around and sang "never gon' be president now" repeatedly in celebratory fashion which may have been related to actual events...

Someone earlier said they were glad he put it on Spotify, so... did you actually look for it?

It doesn't look like there will be a digital booklet which is odd because Lin hinted in a previous tweet that there would be.

My guess is because of how fast they recorded and how much material there is, they just aren't able to get the booklet finished for the digital release

The thing he posted on Tumblr today looked like it came from a booklet, though, no?
