I have been annoyed by that same problem you mention, also from the prior update.
Typically, I wind up returning to the album, either in my "Favorites" or through a search, and that way return to the album. An adequate workaround, but it's annoying to have to do it.
I haven't noticed any improvements these updates have made, has anyone?
@jbuhl I think your software-engineer friend has a good point. As often as not, the updates I've made, whether on my Apple laptop or audio gear, don't seem to improve them for me as often as they create problems.
