The Melody and the Energetic Nature of Volume is the debut album of Canadian rock band Evans Blue. It was released on February 21, 2006 (see 2006 in music). The album spawned two singles, "Cold (But I'm Still Here)" and "Over." It has sold more than 200,000 copies, and was #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, at one point.

The album portrays the intricate workings of a relationship and the hardships of breaking off with someone you love. "Possession" is a cover of the Sarah McLachlan song from the album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.

A live, acoustic version of this album, entitled Unplugged Melody, with the exception of the Sarah McLachlan cover of "Possession", was included with the purchase of the bands second album, The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of Life Ends.
