The disadvantage of yours is that it is wrong. With user has_many
images through albums you should not have image belongs_to user. Also
with user has_many albums you should have album belongs_to user.

I sense that you are a beginner with rails, and if so suggest that you
first work right through the tutorial railstutorial.org (which is free
to use online) which will show you the basics of rails.
