Some songs on album greyed out

I just updated iOS, and got the subscription for Apple Music. I was exploring albums I didn't have, and came to one, namely Genesis' R-Kive album. I don't own that album.


Now, the weird thing is part of the songs are available to me, but part of the songs are greyed out, and I can't play them.Why would that be? Can anyone check on this side?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4

Yes, I believe as already mentioned that it has something to do with 'album only' tracks. If you find you can't play a track on Apple Music, have a look at its album on the iTunes Store. If it's "album only" then it seems we can't do anything about it until Apple fixes it. And I do expect them to fix it because other streaming services e.g. Spotify don't have this restriction.

So is there seriously no fix for this? Seems like a huge problem that's going untouched. I tried the log in and out, as well as checked the explicit content settings. Neither worked.


For me, the songs are greyed out, and will only play if I double click them. If they are within an album and are the next song up, they'll just get skipped. Very annoying 😕
