There are also some tracks that don't follow the same formula as the more standard Vines numbers, making the album a little more experimental than you'd expect. "Merrygoround," for example, sounds like two tracks mashed together. Its verses bounce along like a '60s-esque jingle, but when it comes time for the chorus, it's like the group flips a switch to a much brasher and quicker-paced rock mode, after which they revert back to the previous style. It's a little jarring, but it's a nice medium between their more full-out rock songs and their laidback guitar ditties.
Melodia makes it pretty clear that The Vines aren't going to save rock anytime soon, but shows that they're still doing it harder than most bands out there. This album comes at a time when bubblegum and hip-hop are ruling the charts, so it's a nice breath of fresh air to have this album available as rock relief. Too bad it's past the point for them to make a successful comeback, but with an album like this in their discography, it shows they've still got some rock blood in their veins.
