Yes but that's not detailed enough.  
If you use the menu freedb \> freedb.. or if you click the little triangle on the right of the freedb toolbar button you get a window with the four freedb choices. Please say which one you use (wich is preselected).

If you use "determine from selected files" make sure the files are in the same order as on the cd.  
You can also try it with the audio cd, that is the most accurate way to calculate the disc id.

And you are sure the cds are on freedb?  
And why do you need to look it up a second time when you already did in EAC?

But I've seen the albums on [discogs.com](http://discogs.com), so can also try the discogs source
