EDIT: Having split this into an Aeon Nox thread, it turns out that it was a bug in music library after all.

Upon further study, there is definitely some issue with the way Kodi (or perhaps just the "infopanel" itself) processes the style/type/mood data for albums.
From what I can tell, the presence of "type" data will prevent all other scraped album data from displaying.
For example, Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory correctly has the album type listed as "album." However, no style, mood, or album details are displayed:
Meanwhile all of that additional info is present on this album's Audio DB page: http://www.theaudiodb.com/album/2111331
Linkin Park's Meteora displays style, mood, and album details, all correctly scraped from The Audio DB. However, release type displays "info unavailable":
I've looked through my library, and in every case where release type is displayed, there is no other album data scraped from The Audio DB.
Are other people experiencing this issue? Again, I am looking at the "shift" view within the Aeon Madnox skin. But I think it may be present in any view that includes style/mood/type album data. If this is determined not to be a general issue with Kodi, I want to make sure I bring it to the attention of the right people.
EDIT:
Here is a perfect illustration of this conflict... I just did a manual refresh on the Hybrid Theory album. Now the style and mood are filled in, and the type has been removed! It really does seem that, for whatever reason, "type" cannot coexist with the other album info:
