Weight of the World is a 2002 album by the Canadian hard rock band Harem Scarem. The mainstay of this album are the HUGE harmony vocals similar to Hysteria era Def Leppard or even the lesser known 80's band, Blue Tears, but with more of a punch.
All in all, the album really speaks for itself. There are some leanings toward an Alternative sound on Weight of the World, but it’s definitely not a repeat of the sound heard on Rubber. This is basically another Scarem album; Melodic Rock (or Anthem Rock if you prefer), blended with new creative ideas and new approaches to production, most notably massive vocal overdubs, and various instrument overdubs that your ear may not perceive upon the first few listens.

Notes
Amidst some confusion, the band released a follow-up, Weight of the World in 2002, the subject of this review. In Canada, the CD was released under the Rubber label, but in Japan and Europe (where they had found moderate success) the band used their old name, Harem Scarem again. This ploy was eventually dropped and the band went back to being Harem Scarem full time. It should be noted, too, that this wasn’t entirely the band’s decision, with several record labels complicating matters. It seems a lot less significant now, but it is nonetheless an interesting history lesson.
