 Wait for You in the best one on here. Dec 14, 2008
I had this on tape back in the day. I loved the song Wait for You. I remember rewinding my cassette so many times to hear this song over and over. It's still an exceptional song today. The rest of the album (to me) was rather forgettable.

For some albums, context is everything, especially when that context relates to either death or legacy. In the case of Bonham's ludicrously-titled 1989 debut The Disregard of Timekeeping, the context that must be considered is the fact that drummer Jason Bonham is the son of late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. This fact has almost as much to do with how we look at the album as the music itself. It's not fair, but this is one of those albums that you really can't judge solely on its own merits. If you could, you'd probably just end up wondering how Kingdom Come managed to release this and In Your Face in the same year.
Naturally, The Disregard of Timekeeping has a very strong, very obvious Led Zeppelin influence. I think we'd have been surprised (and perhaps a bit disappointed) if it didn't. It's not as blatant as that first Kingdom Come album, or what David Coverdale would go on to do, but it's definitely there. This has a lot to do with Daniel McMaster's (RIP) vocals, which draw heavily on Robert Plant's style, as well as the hit single Wait for You, which sounds like an In Through the Out Door b-side. As the album progresses though, you get a better sense of the band's own sound, and it's actually pretty good, especially if you're a fan of 80's era melodic rock. When the band isn't trying to sound like Led Zeppelin, they're making polished, professional melodic rock on par with anything Bad Company, Foreigner and Loverboy were releasing at the time.
I find myself enjoying this disc more each time I play it. Once you get past the obvious Zeppelin similarities (which seem focused towards the beginning and end of the album), there are more than enough great melodic rock songs to please most 80's rock fans.
NOTE: SPV reissued The Disregard of Timekeeping in 2009. The reissue does not include any bonus material, but it has been digitally remastered.

 Passing of a singer Mar 18, 2008
Daniel MacMaster, the singer of this band passed away yesterday. He was too young. I didn't realize how popular he was until today.
Put aside your preconceived notions Feb 25, 2008
Judge this album on its own merit. Great drummer, cool riffs, good voice, hooks, choruses, Memorable. Still like this one. Well worth the price you can pick it up for now.

Of course it has a huge Zeppelin vibe May 26, 2006
The bands name and the person who started this project is John Bonham's son, his legacy for gods sake. The music is great and it does have originality. Why would you insult that, or that he was trying to get rich and steal his father's style. He grew up with it and it is in his viens. I feel John would be proud. I love "Wait for You" and know many others who do as well. And let's not forget to give credit to the rest of the band and Daniels vocals are spot on. Good for them. So stop trying to say thety are Zeppelin rip offs, just intensely influenced. And of course they would be. Hence the name BONHAM!!!
