The Melody and the Energetic Nature of Volume, the debut from Canadian rock band Evans Blue, came out on Hollywood Records on February 21, 2006. It works as a portrait of a relationship coming apart, tracing the knotted workings of love and the ache of walking away from someone you still care for, set to churning alt-metal riffs and soaring, wounded melodies.
"Cold (But I'm Still Here)" and "Over" were the singles, and the band also takes a heavy swing at Sarah McLachlan's "Possession", from her album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. The record sold more than 200,000 copies and at one point topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart. It was the only album with original drummer Darryl Brown, and a stripped-down acoustic take, Unplugged Melody, later came bundled with their second album, The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of Life Ends.
