No, you are wrong. Album does not equal LP. Album equals a collection of songs put together; hell, I would even say that an album can be one song. There are plenty of albums that are one track.
If you can pull a fact from somewhere other than your ass that contradicts what the dictionary and Wikipedia say, then you should probably do that. Otherwise, you're definitely wrong.

Opiate has 6 tracks/7 songs, and it's 26 minutes. Its length fits the criteria for an album. Those aren't hard and fast rules either...Opeth's Still Life and Orchid are only 7 tracks and they are full length albums. Fantomas' Delìrium Còrdia is a full length
album that is one track.
Opiate is an album. It is also an EP.
