47 | !!''Good tropes, bad tropes, you know I've had my share'' |
48 | * BreakUpSong: |
49 | ** "Dazed And Confused" |
50 | --> ''Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard earned pay'' |
51 | --> ''Try to love you, baby, but you push me away'' |
52 | --> ''Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been'' |
53 | --> ''Sweet little baby, I want you again'' |
54 | ** "I Can't Quit You Baby". |
55 | --> ''Woman, I can't quit you babe'' |
56 | --> ''I think I'm gonna put you down for a while'' |
57 | * ButNowIMustGo: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". |
58 | --> ''I know, I know, I know I never, never, never, never, never gonna leave you, babe'' |
59 | --> ''But I got to go away from this place,'' |
60 | --> ''I've got to quit you, yeah'' |
61 | --> ''Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, ooh, don't you hear it callin' me?'' |
62 | --> ''Oh, woman, woman, I know, I know'' |
63 | --> ''It feels good to have you back again'' |
64 | --> ''And I know that one day, baby, it's gonna really grow, yes it is.'' |
65 | --> ''We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.'' |
66 | --> ''Come what may, every day, ooh'' |
67 | * CoverVersion: "How Many More Times?" was inspired by Music/HowlinWolf's "How Many More Years?" from ''Music/MoaninInTheMoonlight''. At the time he wasn't credited for this, but reissues have corrected this mistake. |
68 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome: The album cover. |
69 | * EchoingAcoustics: Evident throughout the whole album. |
70 | * EpicInstrumentalOpener: "Your Time Is Gonna Come", the opening track of side two, starts with a minute-long organ intro, courtesy of John Paul Jones. Some versions of the album reversed the order of the sides, in effect making it this trope for the whole album. |
71 | * EpicRocking: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", "You Shook Me", "Dazed And Confused" and "How Many More Times". |
72 | * FadeOut: "Good Times Bad Times", "Your Time Is Gonna Come" (though it fades into "Black Mountain Side") and "Communication Breakdown". |
73 | * FadingIntoTheNextSong: As "Your Time Is Gonna Come" starts fading out, "Black Mountain Side" begins playing. |
74 | * TheImmodestOrgasm: Some of the vocals on "Dazed and Confused" are...sensual, to say the least. |
75 | * {{Instrumental|s}}: "Black Mountain Side". |
76 | * LongestSongGoesLast: The album ends with the eight-and-a-half-minute "How Many More Times" (though the packaging on the original release mistakenly clocks it in at three and a half), making it the only song on the record to pass the seven minute mark. |
77 | * LoveHurts: Apart from the break up songs "Dazed And Confused", "I Can't Quit You Baby" there's "[[Music/LedZeppelinII Heartbreaker]]" on the 2014 Deluxe Edition companion disc, about an adulterous woman who has broken the protagonist's heart in the past. |
78 | * QuestioningTitle: "How Many More Times?". |
79 | * SelfTitledAlbum: The first of four ([[Music/LedZeppelinIV officially three]]). |
80 | * ShoutOut: The album cover is the iconic photo of the 1937 Hindenburg zeppelin disaster. |
81 | * SiameseTwinSongs: "You Shook Me" → "Dazed and Confused", "Black Mountain Side" → "Communication Breakdown" and "I Can't Quit You Baby" → "How Many More Times" are all examples. |
82 | * TitleOnlyChorus: The refrain of "Your Time Is Gonna Come" consists solely of the title. |
83 | * TruckDriversGearChange: "Good Times Bad Times". |
84 | * TyopOnTheCover: The timestamp for "How Many More Times" is mistakenly listed as three and a half minutes on the original release; the actual runtime is five minutes longer than that. |
85 | * UncommonTime: "Black Mountain Side" is mostly in 4/4, but switches to 9/8, 2/4 and 5/8 at points. |
