Those are fake files. See: Recognising Fake files

And for tips on finding good files, see: How to find music

Unfortunately thats the way it is. The newer the files your looking for the more fake files you'll find. Though it happens with old files too. If you search for a file and you get 1000 sources or more, you can bet most of them are fake, but if you do a search and get say 500 sources or less they are probably mostly good files. About all you can do is keep searching using different keywords. Sooner or later your persistance will pay off.

Try searching for albw(albumwrap). Search for the artists name or album name followed by albw. More info in this thread: how to download a complete album?
