"The best melodic rock album of 2002. How can this band the talented receive so little acclaim from the mainstrem music world? This album is loaded with excellent material from start to finish. Heavy guitar riffs and catchy choruses that give you that "high as a mountaintop" feeling. It's simple: Get this album. No futher analysis needed, trust me."

Not their second album at all...

"A recent review of this Harem Scarem CD gave me the impression that the person reviewing it (and shame on them for being Canadian and not knowing more about one of their own bands)thought they only had TWO CDs out. Truth is, Weight of the World is more a return to the form of their second CD "Moodswings" (from 1993) after a stint under the name of Rubber (and a more power pop sound). Harem Scarem has always delivered very well crafted melodic hard rock over the years, thought not one of their albums could be considered a rider on its predecessor's coattails. Their singer Harold Hess (not Howard as the other reviewer stated) continues to possess some of the most amazing vocal chords in rock & roll. There is plenty to enjoy about Weight of the World for the Harem Scarem fan and anyone else interested in finding out just how GOOD this band is (ironically enough, the Canadian release of Weight still bears the Rubber name for whatever reason)...get the first CD, "Mood Swings" and one or more of their live CDs...then get this one...they're as good as ever on this CD...then check out their latest release "Higher"...you won't be disappointed."
