Indifference might be the single most overrated song in their catalog.
I am happy to be counted among these overraters -- I think "Indifference" is easily one of the most compelling songs on "Vs." and one of the few that really indicates a jump forward from the rambling free-verse compositional style of "Ten."
"Go" is definitely one of the most visceral and enduring rockers from the early days, but "Indifference" looked like it could use the support so that's what I went with.
Another one that might have gone a differently in years past. Indifference is such an integral part of my adolescence. One of those fiber of being songs that you tell yourself you'll thank the band for writing if you ever get to meet them because at 13 you really believe the song had some life-saving properties.
Beyond all of that though, Indifference has endured. I've grown up and the song has settle quite nicely into a more appropriate role. I probably find it a tad overwrought now that I'm inching ever closer to that dreaded middle-age mark. But it's still a lovely song with some piercing guitar work. And Ed sounds like Ed should always sound.
