When I open the album Right For Me from The Teskey Brothers I'm getting more "tracks" then on the album. Looks to me there's something going wrong with parsing? See picture below: I guess that's from a music service? That's not tracks, but additional links - with the album artwork. --

My reasoning is more to do with the fairly frequent failure of ChartLyrics.com rather than the need to have lyrics for everything. I just find it annoying when I flip to lyrics for a well known song and there is nothing available because ChartLyrics is having an off day. Do you still experience
