It's embarrassing how long it took me to understand why there seemed to be giant metallic spikes everywhere.

Captain Pikant got some actual 9-inch nails for the video. He went to great lengths.

For what it's worth, Trent does not strike me as someone who would let a mistake slip through to a record - he seems to use rhythm to mess with emotion and psychology during a song as much as melody, so those snare shifts are on purpose I reckon. <br><br>This was a flawless video though, I remember listening to NIN over and over again finding something new in the layers every time but not understanding anything about how they could be created. This was incredible work
