Product Description

From Amazon.com

A testament to the Cure’s explosive creativity, Join the Dots is also an ode to the band’s remarkable consistency. Spanning the group’s entire career, it’ll keep fans happily burrowing away for hours; days, even. Disc 1 concentrates on Robert Smith’s early growth spurts, when his jerky goth-pop blossomed with depth and savvy. Disc 2 recycles some of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me’s motifs (there’s a touch of "A Thousand Hours" in "Breath," for instance), and pays tribute to their early-90s Mixed Up Madchester phase with "Harold and Joe." Elsewhere, there are covers of "Young Americans," Depeche Mode’s "World in My Eyes," "Purple Haze," and three versions of the Doors’ "Hello I Love You," as well as more recent material like an acoustic version of "Maybe Someday" from 2000’s Bloodflowers. The handsome packaging features a complete career retrospective partially narrated by Smith himself. As a capstone to a brilliant career, Dots is a sublime walk down memory lane for tortured hearts and melancholy moods. --Matthew Cooke

2.0 out of 5 stars join the dots?, Oct 20 2004

slook (St. Catharines, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Join.. Dots:B- Sides..Rarities (Audio CD)
Out of the 4 cd's i managed to make 1 complete mixed cd that is worth listening. The first 2 cd's i didn't really care for. The next 2 have got some real gems on them and i mean real GEMS!
The one thing that really put me off about this set is a lot of the songs are recorded with one of those 25 dollar used beat boxes. Real drums are so much better!
Guess I was expecting more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it for the remastering alone!!!!!!!, Jun 30 2004
This review is from: Join.. Dots:B- Sides..Rarities (Audio CD)
I have never, ever rated anything on Amazon, but I couldn't wait to review this. If you are a Cure fan, you simply MUST buy this box set! The remastered B-sides alone are worth the money. I can't remember how many times over the years I've longed for a better quality sound than the analog--now you have it. You can finally hear what the undertones are on some songs. Amazing...what a wonderful collection and high quality, I just can't recommend it enough. Get it for yourself or your favorite Cure fan. I PROMISE you you will not regret it!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrong with this box set!, Jun 19 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Join.. Dots:B- Sides..Rarities (Audio CD)
If you are a lover of The Cure you need this! It has some songs you might not have heard before, and some remixes of familiar favorites like A Forest, Just Like Heaven, etc. This will keep me occupied until their new CD comes out this month :)
It comes in a lovely hard cover book format. It has 2 CD's in front, 2 in back, and 76 pages of various photos, as well as notes and stories on the songs included.
