Is there any way to get rid of giant header when viewing playlists in song format?

When I'm viewing playlists with "as Songs" selected under View, there is now a giant header taking up half the page with tons of blank space, 4 album covers, a giant version of the playlist title, etc. I noticed if you scroll down under the "playlists" view option, this stupid thing disappears. But it follows you on "songs," making it very difficult to manage giant playlists I've spent years working (like chronological by recording date playlists for certain artists), while the playlists option offers fewer metadata options.

Does anybody know some way to get rid of this thing, or is Apple just being stupid?
