Rotwang has an ear for melody and rhythm; each track chugs forward with a sense of purpose. It is a singular trait, however, that the purpose is often threateningly ambiguous.

This atmospheric dissonance characterizes Rotwang, and he is most visible when the sense of tension and dread woven into the anatomy of synth lines is made manifest. The effect is not achieved through any particular combination of effects or reliance on an overtly gloomy aesthetic. Rather, it is built as each track evolves and is perceived through those constant evolutions.

It is not all darkness and pounding hearts, though. In another move taken from the horror genre, Rotwang seems to enjoy having fun with the listener; some of the tensest moments dissolve into what edges very close to dance and pop. One eventually feels that the man behind the upheaval has a wry smile on. This is not the music of dour, humorless introspection.
