2002's "Weight of the World", which was released as a Rubber album in some markets, harkened back to the earlier sound of "Mood Swings" and was their first Harem Scarem album to be released on the Frontiers label. Weight of the World was the bands first album to have a 'proper' release within Europe. Weight of the World was followed in 2003 by "Higher". The album's sound was more of a combination of classic melodic rock with a modern production. The album featured the power ballad "Higher". 2003 also saw the release of lead singer Harry Hess' debut solo album "Just Another Day". In 2004, Pete Lesperance released his debut solo album "Down In It" (re-recorded with Mike Turner and released under the band name Fair Ground in 2006).
