I've definitely seen this happen as well. It's extremely frustrating. Looking at your screenshots, I'm guessing these were all albums that were matched to your existing library?

Just curious, looking for them, I see this:

[1] seems ok here: https://music.apple.com/us/album/yung-gravity-ep/1500799523

Is there another version of it on AM?

[2] I can't find on Apple Music - I'm guessing it's also an upload from your library?

[3] seems ok here: https://music.apple.com/us/album/outrun/1440873249

[4] Does deluxe version have more or different tracks? I see explicit and normal version, but they seem to have same tracklist? https://music.apple.com/us/album/camp/1450829373

Nah, these aren't matched albums. They're directly added from Apple Music. And that's the thing, the albums are fine!

For [1] and [3], I added the album to my library as you see them in the links you provided. Then one day—poof! Albums are mangled, songs have been pulled out into "singles", or I find a new "compilation/greatest hits" version of the album in my library with a subset of the songs, and another subset in the original. Now I have to find all loose tracks, delete them—if I can find them all—then re-add the complete album.

The deluxe version of [4] has an extended track list, but I didn't add that version to my library. Apple Music thought it'd be a great idea to add the deluxe version, and split tracks between both albums so neither version is complete.
