New ITunes -- Album Grouping Issue

I recently upgraded my ITunes to the latest version. Today I downloaded two albums and a number of individual songs and they are not grouped properly in my Library. I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to fix this. They are the newest album by Of Monsters and Men, and a Grizzly Bear album, plus ten or so individual songs by different artists from different albums. All of these downloads show up in my Library as an "Unknown Album" by Grizzly Bear, with no corresponding album art, but which contains all of the songs from both albums and most of the individual songs. When I do "Get info" on the individual tracks, they look as if they are labelled correctly, and that they identify the proper album and artist.

When I try to reorganize them, I get a notice that I can't change anything because they weren't downloaded from Itunes, which is incorrect. I only download music from Itunes. And when I go to my Itunes account, they show up properly in my list of recent Purchases.

Any advice? This is beyond aggravating.

Thanks

That helped for the most part. I had to manually select "Part of compilation" for each individual song, and it at least allocated the song to the right album. It is still not listing correctly by artist, but I think it will have to do.
