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

Both The Downward Spiral and The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails contain lietmotifs.

Oh wow I completely forgot lol

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.
