On the \u201cUnder the Influence\u201d compilation, this is not the case. Almost all of the songs are reinterpreted in a different way, making them unique and stylistically different from their original counterparts: R.A.Y. takes the funk of \u201cGive It Away\u201d and mellows it down until it is a slow groove, The Boston Boys, with the help of Emily Elbert, give \u201cWelcome to Paradise\u201d a very blue-grassy feel. Some of the tracks are interpreted in a very straightforward way before taking a total left turn: The Berklee String Metal Ensemble launches into \u201cToday\u201d with a sound reminiscent of the Smashing Pumpkins. Suddenly, they hit the chorus, which features metal screams galore. Nice. This compilation is interesting, and proves that covers aren\u2019t only for uncreative groups.<\/p>\n<p><b>Reviewed by:<\/b> Paul Thomas on March 4th, 2012<\/p>\n<p><b>RIYL:<\/b> Any of the original artists<\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks:<\/b> 4, 6, 8<\/p>\n<p><b>FCC Warning:<\/b> None<\/p>\n<p><b>Label:<\/b> Heavy Rotation Records<\/p>\n<p><b>Release Date:<\/b> February 14th, 2012<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simply an awesome collections of covers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":10574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[397,693],"class_list":["post-10568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-paul-thomas","tag-under-the-influence"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/981933067-1.jpg.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
