Hi! At the moment the indexer works entirely on a track-by-track basis. We have no concept of a particular artist being associated with a genre, so if you're expecting to be able to navigate first to the 'rock' genre, then to a specific artist with rock songs, and then view complete albums associated with that artist (even if some of the tracks in that album don't have that genre) then this likely won't work as you expect.
I think it would be interesting to store additional metadata to allow this sort of use case (e.g. storing a list of genres that we've seen on each artist's tracks). However this would increase indexing time, which people already complain about, so we'd probably need to work out a faster way of doing at least incremental re-indexing first.
