I agree that many bands, especially those that are New Wave/New Music,
produce great singles and e.p.s but stuff thier albums with some
very disappointing filler. As a result I tend to buy the e.p.
(which usually has a really good danceable mix) rather than the 
album. But I don't think there is any thing wrong with a band putting
out a good e.p.. Many of the 'concept' albums of the 70's were over blown
boring trash with a few catchy ideas here and there. 
It all depends on what you are interested in. 
Most artists I find have at least one or two really good ideas to
contribute while only a few have a seemingly inexaustable supply.
I guess some of those less endowed like to milk thier initial success
as much as possible.
