Layered with distinctive synths, rattling distorted low-bit drums and sung with passage's signature melodious fast raps, "The Creature in the Classroom" twelve inch gives us a sense of passage's genius. He manages to blend and reference hardcore, new wave, indie-pop, electro, fast rap and just about everything else. The title track is taken from passage's recently released self-produced full length, The Forcefield Kids. It is an unintentional anthem for disaffected youth, encapsulates the miserable moments of everyone's high school years. Also taken from The Forcefield Kids, the second track on the A-Side, "Poem to the Hospital" creates the kind of hospital waiting room scene one could only imagine taking place in a David Lynch film. The B-side features a bonus instrumental "Neo Geo Poem Instrumental" and an instrumental of side-A's "Poem to the Hospital."
