8* {{Anvilicious}}: A common criticism of the album is how un-subtle it is with the messages on its songs.
9* ContestedSequel: Like almost everything Bowie did in the '80s, ''Tin Machine'' is an album that often splits hairs with fans, critics, and analysts. While most will agree that it's an improvement over ''Music/NeverLetMeDown'', that's where the consensus ends. Some praise it as a refreshing change of pace that broke Bowie out of his creative slump and adeptly predicted the {{grunge}} boom of the early '90s. Others, meanwhile, criticize it as half-baked and sophomoric, especially given the band's admission that the music and lyrics were first drafts.
10* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The song "Tin Machine" has a very similar EpicRiff to Music/TheYardbirds' "Over Under Sideways Down".
11* ValuesResonance: With the rise of the alt-right in the second half of TheNewTens and specifically the "Unite the Right" white supremacist rally in 2017, "Under the God" and its explicit condemnation of neo-Nazism, white supremacy, and government enabling of far-right extremism has become more relevant now than ever before.
