The Thin Red Line is the debut album by Canadian band Glass Tiger. It was released by Capitol Records on June 11, 1986.
The album is most famous for the single "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)". The song, which featured backup vocals by Bryan Adams, reached #1 on the Canadian charts and #2 in the United States. The follow-up single, "Someday", was also successful, reaching #7 in the U.S. and #14 in Canada.
Both Greg Burliuk of the Kingston Whig-Standard and Evelyn Erskine of the Ottawa Citizen compared the album to Duran Duran. Erskine dismissed the album and opined that the band "has yet to find its own musical direction", while Burliuk called the album uneven but praised the singles "Don't Forget Me", "Someday" and "You're What I Look For".
