Not unless it's changed in SlimServer 5. (I'm still on 4.2.6.)
When I go to Browse by Album, I get an alphabetized list of album titles,
each containing a list of songs. If it's changed in version 5, that'll
help push me to upgrade. (But I'd rather wait for it to stabilize a bit
more.)

I'd prefer this:
Artist A
* * Full Album A1
* * * * Track 1
* * * * Track 2
* * Full Album A2
Compilation C1
Track 1 by Artist A
Artist B
* * Full Album B1
Compilation C1
Track 2 by Artist B
Artist C
Compilation C1
Track 3 by Artist C
Compilations
* * Compilation C1
Track 1 by Artist A
Track 2 by Artist B
Track 3 by Artist D
* * Compilation C2
.... With the option to omit the Artist C listing if there are no full
albums there.
