iTunes match splitting albums on iPhone

I recently spent several hours cleaning up my iTunes library because I'd been having some problems with missing or duplicate files in iTunes Match. I got everything cleaned up, but now when I activate iTunes Match, my iPhone is randomly splitting up some of my albums. I'm only experiencing this problem on my iPhone. My iPad is syncing perfectly, as are both my laptops. I reset all my data and settings in the phone in hopes it was a cache issue, but I can't seem to get rid of the problem. It's very frustrating. What am I missing?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3

I think there is a bug with iTunes match, please see here:

iTunes match - on iPhone iPad split albums and wrong album artists

I've tried everything. I cannot fix this and have had to do a work around. There seems to be a few similar threads.

Thanks

I've had that problem on both the iPad and the iPhone. I've edited some id3 tags and it solved the problem on some albums but not on others. iTunes Match doesn't work like it should. It has some glitches that need to be fixed. If they don't get them fixed, I won't be renewing my subscription.

Time Apple fixed this. I too have my library working fine on ATV, iPad and MacBook but when I try to play an album on my iPhone the tracks are often replaced with tracks from other albums, although the track description is as it should be on the original album. For instance when I try to play a Cream album the track is listed as it should be fro the Cream album, but the music that plays is often taken from a Gabrielle album.

Crap basically. Pull the finger out Apple.
