It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

"to create a key modulation"

"the producer decided that the song "Layla" was too long and a bit monotonous, so, they solved both problems by speeding up the analog master tape in the middle of the song, in order to create a key modulation and a tempo increase."

That half step modulation is what makes the thing good. It's what raises it above pablum. Without that, it's just what was said about it - monotonous crap.

I was alway impressed with that modulation, and took it as evidence that rock musicians really did have some talent. Now, this shows the opposite. No harmonic ability at all.
