* CreatorsOddball: MNQN, Dustin's solo project. Compared to Downplay, which is prominently rock, and Starset, which is a big mashup of genres while still staying in the rock area, MNQN is entirely electronic.



** On the topic of "Carnivore", it originally would have been something entirely different, especially in Downplay, due to executive meddling. Some of the lyrics would have been different and the song would have been called "Everything I Am".

* BreakthroughHit: "My Demons". Well, the Starset version. The song was released before the band fully came together as, at the time, Dustin had yet to put together the band itself. Yet, despite the band not being properly formed alongside not having a record deal at the time, the song still found major success and remains as the band's most recognizable song.

* CreatorBacklash: "The Crystal Song" from Dustin's old band, Downplay. The song is obviously a joke and by his own admission it kinda went viral locally, but it's still a source of embarrassment.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Downplay, especially the songs originally written for that band. Given that ''Epic Records'' have dropped Downplay alongside causing issues with the band prior to that in regards to their music, it's highly possible that songs like "Down With The Fallen", "My Demons", and even "Carnivore" would have seen vastly different production if Downplay wasn't dropped. Not only that, Starset might not have even come to pass.

* SleeperHit: "TRIALS", to a degree. "MANIFEST" was the lead single of ''DIVISIONS'' and was released with a music video in advance of the album, so it was almost certainly intended to be the signature song of the album. Three other songs from the album also had music videos upon their release. While "MANIFEST" is still popular, "TRIALS" has had the strongest chart performance of any song on the album to date, and it was eventually given a music video the following year, likely as a response to its popularity.
