===Rivers Cuomo demo===
"Broken Arrows" has received varied responses from fans. Its original demo, sometimes referred to by devout Weezer fans as the "answering machine demo," is often praised as one of the few emotionally charged songs of the ''Maladroit'' era. Many fans criticize later, full band versions of the song for its heavier, more rock-oriented feel. "Broken Arrows" has yet to be discussed on [[Teenage Victory Songs]], but it was praised in an entry for "[[Hot Tub]]:" ''"The Weezer discography is one fraught with criminal omissions. Why didn’t “[[We Go Together]],” “Broken Arrows” or “[[Diamond Rings]]” make Maladroit?"''
