Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

I've been obsessed with this for the past couple of years, and the filmed version finally gave me the chance to see it play onstage. It didn't disappoint.

It's not in a different ballpark than other great musicals... but it is a truly great musical. Lin Manuel Miranda has some serious song-writing talent. The cast is exceptional, and while this isn't the first musical with a hip-hop foundation, it deserves the spotlight it has received.

Groundbreaking work.

Everyone's always like "ooh, founding fathers rapping LOL" but I honestly don't see it that way, this is just a natural progression of Broadway musicals, instead of everything being sung through, it's just said with a rhythm that keeps you involved. Of course there's that AND an abundance of just amazing songs, best musical to date, easily.
A game changer for Broadway musicals.

One of the rare soundtracks that functions independently of its original production. An epic like nothing else, the soundtrack for Hamilton alone is a classic work, and a generation-defining achievement on par with To Pimp a Butterfly or My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
