"Every Day Is Exactly the Same" is the third and final single by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails from their album With Teeth . It is the twenty-first official Nine Inch Nails release. The commercial single was released on April 4, 2006, as an EP.
The radio single reached #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock singles chart in the Modern Rock Tracks category and #12 in the Mainstream Rock Tracks category. The song also reached number one on the Canadian Singles Chart, and received a nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 49th annual Grammy Awards. [1] "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" topped Billboard's 2006 year-end Hot Dance Singles Sales chart, and spent 104 weeks on the chart. [2] A music video was planned but scrapped in the post-production stage. [3]
According to The Spiral, the music video for "Every Day Is Exactly the Same", directed by Francis Lawrence, was canceled in post-production. An image of a clapperboard and in the background what appeared to be water tank with a 3-lead ECG appeared on the official Nine Inch Nails website, but was later taken down.
There is also a studio cut video for the song. It can be seen on Beside You In Time .
Allmusic gave a generally favorable review of the EP, describing its various remixes as "actually better than the original versions". Allmusic described the "Sam Fog vs. Carlos D Mix" of "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" as "sleekly ominous", and concluded that the track rendered "NIN's increasingly claustrophobic, insular music sound fresh again". [4] Pitchfork Media was not as positive towards the last mix, however, labeling it as the most disappointing track on the release and calling it "cold and ordinary". [5] Pitchfork was more positive towards the other tracks however, labeling the El-P mix as "a harrowing (and somewhat cloying) experience" and concluding of the DFA mix that "the treatment works beautifully." [5]
The song is featured in the 2008 film Wanted , where it became the film's most recognizable song.
This song is played in the CBS show Hawaii Five-0 , in the beginning of the 15th episode of the third season, entitled "Hookman".
This song is played in the show Criminal Minds (first season, second episode, 1 minute 27 seconds in). The episode is titled "Compulsion".
The drum beats in the song are interpolated in "Wake Up" by a British Rock band The Vamps.
The song is played in the animated series Invincible , during the ending montage of the season 3 finale ''I Thought You'd Never Shut Up''.
All songs by Trent Reznor.
