Do you know any albums with leitmotifs? - eviltoast

I know that there are countless amount of movies/games soundtracks with leitmotifs, but other than that I’ve never found albums with leitmotifs.

      I mean I’m reaching a bit with them because, at least for The Fragile, the motif isn’t particularly connected to a certain character.

        Not really reaching, both the song The Downward Spiral and Closer has the same leitmotif, and I like it so much. Makes me wonder why I forgot about this one

          Did you know as well that that lietmotif is also repeated in the bassline for Heresy?

          Honestly I could infodump for hours about the sound design and composition of those albums, I love them so much.
