* NamesTheSame:CreatorDrivenSuccessor: Bowie himself considered this album one to ''Music/ScaryMonstersAndSuperCreeps'', being a similar blend of hard rock and art rock with lyrical themes of sociopolitical protest. Additionally, while ''Scary Monsters'' is typically classified as a PostPunk record, ''Tin Machine'' falls in-line with post-punk's daughter genre, AlternativeRock.
* RefittedForSequel: A cover of "If There is Something" by Music/RoxyMusic was recorded during the sessions for this album, but wasn't released until 1991, when it was included on ''Tin Machine II''.

* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: The album's songs were written primarily through improvisation. This extends to the lyrics as well: Music/DavidBowie was discouraged from altering any of his lyrics, instead being instructed to sing them exactly as how he first wrote them. So heavily did the band emphasize improvisation that ''Tin Machine'' consists entirely of demo recordings, as stated by Gabrels.
