10 Weirdest Songs By Legendary Artists

The reunion of Blink-182's iconic lineup in the early 2010's was a beautiful mess right from the beginning. As much as some fans may have gotten a little emotional seeing them all back together at the Grammys, Neighborhoods became a pretty mixed bag, taking the tropes that Tom DeLonge was already getting into on Angels and Airwaves and trying to shoehorn them into the classic Blink sound. Whereas some of the songs just sound like a bunch of effects with no real structure, Fighting the Gravity hits on something that actually starts to work.

Which is strange because one of the more spaced out tracks on the record was actually written by Mark Hoppus. Written in a bit of a daze after accidentally drinking a water bottle spiked with acid backstage, there's a much darker aura on Fighting the Gravity than what appears on any other Blink 182 project, from the imagery of Mark feeling completely weightless in the air to Tom's different delay effects adding a sense of dread behind him, almost like you're trying to find a place to land and never actually getting there.

If Blink's self titled record was the moment where they decided to experiment with something darker, this is the moment where they fully tried to bank on that sound, creating a mood with their music rather than giving you one banger after another on albums like Enema of the State. It might not be for everyone in Blink's fanbase, but this is a peek into the alternate reality where the band were reborn with some industrial tendencies in their sound.
