"The third album from this incredible, under-rated, post-punk group, “Glass” shows the band forging their own unique and contemporary sound out of a legacy of brooding post-punk sound shared by past and present UK based guitar/synth "new wave" acts. This is Radio Berlin's finest and most important material to date." - original press blurb from the album's 2003 release.

“Although they haven't transcended their late-'70s post-punk/goth influences, Vancouver's Radio Berlin has added some Gang of Four-style hard funk to their bleak sound. It injects a more muscular approach to their inherently dark and foreboding genre. They have nailed the Euro-trash concept, and only by reading the bio would the unsuspecting Anglophile know they hail from North America, let alone Canada. Percussion machines spar with real drums, as thumping bass and echoed guitar provide the stripped down rhythms. It's an intentional throwback to the early Joy Division, Psychedelic Furs, Japan, Bauhaus, and Cure era, but some of these songs are strong enough for Radio Berlin to be more than just a cover band. Still, it's the edgy bass riffs that energise tracks like "Rote Lippen," and keep the music from being a parody of its forbearers. Certainly the haunting David Bowie/Peter Murphy vocals and goth lyrics such as "take a bite out of your lips and there's blood on everybody" aren't forging new territory, and the songs, while not carbon copies, are similar to others from that time period. Regardless, there aren't many bands recreating this dated sound so realistically in 2003. Radio Berlin is comprised of talented musicians dedicated to a genre that most listeners will never get a chance to experience live. In other words, they're preaching to their own black-clad, pale-faced, alienated choir, but anyone still listening to Joy Division will want to turn on this radio.” - Hal Horowitz, 2003
