I envisioned that sometimes, an album might be "mostly vocal", but have a drama track or something else, so we would need to mix these album/disc type classifications with the track-based ones.

One problem there is that Character Theme BGM (say Tifa's theme from FF7) could also fall into this classification. Maybe this is an argument not to call it Character. Just make it Commercial/Image.
