Welcome to the music business.
I have always had mixed feelings about the album concept. In terms of quality, it only worked for a tiny handful of bands and albums. For most of the rest, it was exploited by the record companies so they could make you pay $10-$15 for two good songs and a bunch of filler.
Nowadays, you can download individual songs, watch videos online, etc., so there are more alternatives to buying an album and tossing it in a corner of your basement.
