i also noticed in music explorer if set to artist  with 2 albums  or whatever   you can just click album cover  and see all track by artist   on that album ...

but genre dose not have the same behaviour
if there is a genre   say "Adult Contemporary"   3 albums..  the 3 albums will show on the left side ..  so far so good  

but click any of the 3 albums it just takes you to that  artist page  with out playing  the album  (again any  genre)  .. some thing is not right. iam on 3.0.6172

when you click on a genre in the left filter panel, the main panel should show the artists for that genre and a count of the albums the artist has in that genre. When you click on one of the artists, MB will show all albums by the artist you clicked on - the Music Explorer panel is oriented towards showing info on artists, so its not applying the genre filter at this point.
If the artist is "various artists" then you would see all your compilations
