“Adam’s Song” stands as a poignant departure from the high-octane pop-punk of Blink-182’s 1999 breakthrough album, ‘Enema of the State’. Musically, the track is a masterclass for drummer Travis Barker, whose performance blends Stewart Copeland-inspired embellishments with hip-hop grooves and marching band chops. Despite its slower tempo, the drum part remains intricate and busy, showcasing Barker’s technical versatility and his ability to add sophisticated rhythmic texture to the song’s heavy themes of depression and loneliness.
