Hi Thanuditha

That's as expected. It might be worth checking out the discography of an
artist you're familiar with and the documentation
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Release http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Release_Group
Some release groups will have releases with different names but most
releases in a group will have the same name, just differences such as being
the promotional version, having bonus tracks/discs, being remastered, liner
notes in a different language, etc. Sometimes these have "extra title
information" or disambiguation comments that make the difference clear, but
most often not (because it's clear from the attributes).
