* BlackSheepHit: "Another Hero Lost". While it wasn't their first ballad or their last, it ''was'' their most modern rock-oriented and was a clear bid at radio play. It worked to some degree, but a lot of fans hated it, and given that there was nothing else on the album even close to it, rock radio fans who latched onto that song were generally scared away by the rest of the album. The band quickly turned against it and stopped playing it live only a year and a half after the album came out and never put it back on the setlist.

* DeaderThanDisco: At their peak, they were one of ''the'' biggest melodic metalcore acts (only Killswitch Engage and ''maybe'' As I Lay Dying hit it bigger at the time, though All That Remains eclipsed them much later on) and one of the bigger heavy acts in the world as a whole. Their attempted major label jump didn't go as planned, however, and they lost a whole lot of ground; by 2009, their sound was starting to become dated, and the overly hostile reaction to "Another Hero Lost" (their one attempt at a big radio hit) had scared them away from going in a direction that could have caught up with the times. By 2012, they had gone from a big-name headliner to a mid-level support act, and when they embarked on their farewell tour in 2014, dismal attendances at tiny clubs and bars were the order of the day. They weren't the only one of their peers to fall off, but none of them fell as far or as hard as they did.
