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

It does, the overture doesn’t only introduces later songs (through leitmotifs), it reuses them again for a reprise and a finale.

yeah what I'm saying is I don't think that's really what a "leitmotif" is.

How is it not?. If anything, DT's instrumental use of leitmotif for composition is more classical and predates the crude and vulgar current interpretation of leitmotif="this character is on screen".
