Play Music is part of Google. In your laptop, you should be able to go to Play Music site where you will be able to listen to your album there. You can have access to your music in Play Music on up to 10 devices that have the app installed. (as the music typically resides in the cloud).

When you buy an album through Google, it streams it through the Play Music app. The Music app on your phone is just for local music that's on your phone or SD card. You can go to the Google Music website on a computer and download the entire album to the computer, and then you can place it on the sd card to use the Music app.
