==Versions==
===Vessel===
This is the original album version. It consists of heavily distorted drum loops, a wall of percussive synthesized sound, and ending improvization using a set batch of synthesized loops that distort and glitch. Its danceable rhythms and highly synthesized nature are somewhat reminiscent of "[[Closer]]"."
===Vessel (Instrumental)===
Throughout the [[Lights in the Sky Tour]], "Vessel" was regularly played before the "Ghosts" section of the setlist, played alongside (or replaced with) "[[Me, I'm Not]]", "[[The Warning (Year Zero song)|The Warning]]", or "[[The Great Destroyer]]".
"Vessel" was only played live twice in 2014 - in Tokyo, Japan on [[2014/02/26 Tokyo, Japan|February 26]] and in Adelaide, Australia, on [[2014/03/13 Adelaide, Australia|March 13]]. It The song was then frequently performed as a remixed version in collaboration with [[Boys Noize]] on Act III of the [[Peel It Back Tour]]. This song, when played, would be the first song of Act III, with Boys Noize building up to the intro during the transition from "[[Gave Up]]" while [[Trent Reznor]] and [[Atticus Ross]] move to the B-stage. This version stays relatively similar to the album version, though with a clearer techno/EDM influence, including heavy use of a vocoder.
