What is the logic behind Shuffle Play button vs. just the Play button?

Since I mostly listen to whole albums, I almost never want to shuffle play. However I notice that at the top of a playlist, the big green button is sometimes Shuffle Play, and sometimes just Play. But it's ALWAYS Shuffle Play with albums, which I find really frustrating, because that's the place I least want to use Shuffle.

 

What is the thinking behind when Shuffle Play is shown, and when Play is shown? Can we at least always show Play for albums, so we can hear them in order as the default (yes, I know tapping the first track does that)? Even better would be to have buttons for BOTH play modes at the top of everything, so we can choose as we see fit. As it is, there's a persistent feeling that Spotify doesn't want me to enjoy actual albums, but just playlists, playlist, playlists, and shuffled playlists (instead of carefully sequenced) at that.
