"Till's makeup is from the cabarets of the Berlin of the roaring 20's. If you know the movie "Cabaret" then you know where his makeup is coming from (especially in the scene with the song "Welcome"). The roaring 20's had the reputation to be especially kinky and decadent with a lot of orgies, crossdressers and homosexual activities. Especially in Berlin. The rest is a mixture of Third Reich and GDR (DDR), because both dictatorships restricted the receiving of radio waves from foreign countries with foreign ideas and foreign music. If you were caught listening to foreign (enemy) radio stations in the Third Reich this could be your end. In the DDR you were thrown in prison and / or your life was ruined by the secret service (Stasi). In both states the radio was the life line of the people for listening to modern western music that was forbidden in both dictatorships."

Rammstein appearing as holograms at the end is, because they are radio waves that can't be beaten down or restricted. So Till and the Rammsteiners are radio waves and not ghosts. The women protesting and going over the top with bare breasts and the women turning over the car were part of the women's rights movements. Then they had written on posters and their body in the 1960's & 1970's the slogan "My body belongs to me" (part of the pro abortion movement inside the womens rights movement of the 1960's and 70's). In the video they had written on posters and bodies "My Radio belongs to me". In the same women's rights direction goes the scene with the complaining man (about the food) and the woman throws him to the ground. But to be honest: I don't know, why they brought up that women's rights stuff in the context with their song about the radio. Maybe the radio helped spreading those political ideas back then, too. The music was in big parts a homage to the sound of the band "Kraftwerk"

It's better than it's predecessor, but still weak as fuck. Chorus could have been much better, i guess. I liked it's clip though.

I'd say the elements that made them good, so Mutter and backwards to their first album Herzeleid. The elements are all theirs so they should claim what is their's.

Sorry but Radio is weak comparing to Deutschland. Deutschland is a beautiful, catchy (but not bland!) song with a powerful message. Radio has nice industrial elements, I agree with you on that, but the chorus ruins it, it's catchy but also very, very forgettable and even a bit annoying - to me at least.
