That makes sense because of where your clips are being defined.
Consider a much simpler approach.

By pressing control+A, you're selecting the entire track, which you
don't need to do because tracks are entirely selected until you
select specific regions.

Why left-bracket? If you're at the end of the track, you want to use
right-bracket, then shift+home to select to the beginning.

I think you're making this harder than it has to be. Just use your
brackets to select the album's songs, label each song as a region,
then export all regions. You're done. No need to split tracks and
make clips, since you're just finding silences between songs and
marking selection points accordingly.
