Laughing at stupid people aside....

'Stranger in this town' for me.

It feels much more complete as a work than US. US, for some reason, feels like it was written over a very long period of time, and also feels a bit disjointed. It has no....soul. In fact, it's soul really is undiscovered. It does exactly what it says on the cover....

well personally...i couldn't chose...it really depends on what mood your in...both were written in different parts in richie's life.

stranger in this town---> more soulful guitar and personality

undiscovered soul---> more pick-you-up music and feel-good music

just depends on your taste...

I think Stranger is my favourite, it's more emotional (at least to me) and I do prefer the guitar work there than on US even though I really can't say US isn't a good album.

In my honest opinion both albums are very different and dificult to compare. I like them both as I like the mood on stranger, but like most of the songs on US.

Whatever happened to the promised cd release featuring the best of both with new material??????

Have you tried Ebay?? or Amazon?? or Play??

Otherwise I'm sure your local record shop can get one for you



For me, I much prefer JBJ's solo work, but I prefer SITT to US

Thanks for the info! I think my brother's got an account on e-bay actually! I'll ask him if he can check it out for me!

I guess it fell through. I'm kind of glad, though. I'd rather have an album from Richie with all new material. Besides, it's too early for Richie to have a compilation of his hits (which weren't really very big hits)- he doesn't have enough solo records.
