Album Notes & Community Reviews

This colossal four-disc box set compiles over two decades of B-sides, soundtrack contributions, and rare remixes spanning their entire tenure with Fiction Records. Far more than a collection of cast-offs, 'Join the Dots' reveals Robert Smith's prolific songwriting depth, showcasing heavily synthesized pop experiments and sweeping, atmospheric instrumentals that never fit their studio LPs. It is universally heralded as one of the most rewarding and essential rarities collections in rock history.
