Glass House Rock broke new ground for The Greg Kihn Band and is notable for its hard rock sound. The song "Castaway" uses fast-paced finger-play in the vein of Love's "7 and 7 Is"[1] with underlapping guitar tracks.

The album has noticeably more collaborative compositions and sharing of vocal duties, featuring lead vocals by both Larry Lynch and Steve Wright on the songs "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and "Night After Night" respectively. Lynch and Wright also provided lead vocals alongside Kihn for "The Only Dance There Is" as well as a cover version of The Yardbirds' "For Your Love".

"For Your Love" was recorded in front of a live audience at a sound check at the Keystone Berkeley, California.[2]

gollark: I think part of the idea of "trusted computing" is to put a secret key on a chip somewhere so it can attest that you're using your computer as Microsoft intended and refuse to sign stuff otherwise.
gollark: Not to stop you screenshotting copyrighted content or something.
gollark: But yes, I don't think it's a very good solution because the purpose of security should ultimately be to protect users.
