Yes it is......to a lot of people. IMO I think BOWA is awesome, but broken things just has this great haunting but undeniably catchy melody in the guitar riff and the vocals. Just because Dave isn't in his early 20's again wowing us with a totally new sound (which Broken Things is also a new sound I think), doesn't mean that he isn't capable of writing a song good enough to be on the Big 3. I think this album is easily as good as the Big3 so far. I got the same feeling listening to it (with headphones) as I did from the first time I heard BTCS, just pure bliss, and its gotten better with every listen (5 or 6 so far).
People on here with their Big3 bias just ruin this site, and ruin new good material for everyone. I think virtually every song on this album is better than
some of the Big3 songs; Crash Into Me and Stay come to mind immediately. My theory is that if this was Dave's first album, and somehow UTTAD was his newest, people would say that NOOO song on UTTAD belongs in the big3 with AFTW, Crash, and BTCS. Not a bash against you b/c you are only comparing opening tracks, but I've seen people on this board saying none of these songs belong in the Big3 discussion. Stop putting those undeniably great albums on such a pedestal and just enjoy the music like normal folks.
I do understand that this is only goes out to a minority of hardcoriest fans on this site who have seen 1billion shows and complain about every setlist post 2004.....most of those people have approximately 50,000+ post also.
