Yes, I'm back.  Always trying to come up with ways to expose bad data, I
started thinking about good albums vs. bad ones.  This eventually led me
to devise the trackcount formula.  The easiest way to explain it is an
example.

Album n has 13 tracks.  The tracks should be numbered from 1 to 13.  The
sum of these tracks (13+12+11...1) is 91.  Every album with 13 tracks
should have a trackcount of 91.  If there's something wrong, the
trackcount won't be 91.  There are about 8,100 albums with incorrect
trackcounts.  I've listed them here,
