Review of 'The Only One EP'
_______________________________________
"I may be slightly bias when it comes to The Exhibition, as I do believe them to be the best band on the Bristol circuit at the moment. But aside from that, The Only One EP is a work of pure genius; I just can’t stop listening to it. The EP has been on repeat for who knows how many times now; my neighbours must be loving me by, as it has to be played very loud so you get the true sound. If you love The Exhibition live, then you’re going to love this EP, it’s captured exactly what they are like live. There’s no over producing on this one, it’s raw like you get from them anyway.

My only disappointment is that there are only four tracks on there and a video for The Only One. They are four quality tracks of, The Only One, Fear of Heights, Lapse in Concentration and Clean. I just want more of what I get live. At the moment I can’t fault The Exhibition, they are going from strength to strength, whether it’s based on their live performances or this EP. The pure power behind them is undeniable in each and every track.

The haunting sound of Lapse in Concentration doesn’t leave you, and the keyboards slow it down enough to show you that The Exhibition can do the slower material as well as the heavier roaring material like Clean. I don’t think you can ever get sick of a voice like Gray has; it fits in so well with the material. The Exhibition certainly know what they can do.

Each time you listen to the EP, you notice something different in each track, whether it’s the power of the lyrics or the catchy riffs that run through each song. If The Exhibition aren’t signed soon, there has to be something wrong somewhere. We need a full-length album of this level soon. The Exhibition is rock at its very best, and more people need to know this."
