"Inertia Creeps" features the band delving into darker, more experimental territory, showcasing their evolving sound. The single's abrasive textures and fragmented structure marked a significant sonic departure.
- The single was released in September 1998, preceding the band's fourth studio album Mezzanine.
- "Inertia Creeps" was notably absent from the standard UK or US CD single releases of "Angel," another track from Mezzanine, despite the album's release shortly after.
- The track utilizes a distinctive, distorted bassline and aggressive rhythms, contributing to the menacing atmosphere of the Mezzanine album.
