What tactics has a label used to market a band and made you feel annoyed as a consumer?

Yup, any Victory records tactic is awful, especially when Hawthorne Heights had a commercial on FUSE every damn minute.

I dislike when too many songs are re-released on an album that have previously been on other EPs or compelations. When I buy an album I want to explore unrelased material, not remixed tracks.

rereleases with extra tracks.

it always suckers me in because i'm a completist....and the extra tracks always suck.

except when it was jawbreaker.

Yeah, those were decent extra tracks, though I do believe a few (if not all) are on Etc., if you're referring to the extra Dear You tracks.

nononono. We're talking about when an album gets re-released and they throw on a few b-sides and songs from compilations that usually aren't that good and feel tacked on after the album's closer, not to mention having to drop MORE money to get the re-release
