If anyone has this album, or would like me to review it properly, just let me know. The music conveys the theme of the album, which is a bit unusual (it's a story about a man with a "moral" disease who has to traverse the globe to cure himself) well enough. The only letdown is the vocals in the mix - the man, while a decent singer, is hard to understand except at a few parts in the song.tho, the lyrics aren't very important. He brings a happy, light feel to the music without interfering with the infectious guitar work.bass parts flow well - like in a jazzy sort of way - yet fit in with this style of rock very well. However, I feel the standout on this unusual rock album which, I feel, could appeal to most anyone, is the bass player. The drummer is inventive, and the guitarist has a very unique style. The sound, while heavy, does not give one the after effects of listening to metal or other heavy music.unusual, indeed. Leitmotif, on the other hand is highly meandering and instrumental. Those two sound very different in some ways, but also have a lot in common, especially the emphasis on tight compositions and vocal-heavy songs. The album, Leitmotif, is composed of five short movements and five short songs (this isn't progressive music that stretches on for hours - but it has a progressive feel to it). Leitmotif, Dredg's first full album is interesting in its contrast from their two subsequent releases El Cielo and Catch Without Arms. I recently acquired this excellent release by a fairly unknown band named Dredg.
