The Disregard of Timekeeping is the debut album by British band Bonham, released in 1989. It was produced by Bob Ezrin, who had previously worked with Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd and Kiss; in addition to his usual production duties, he also co-wrote three of the tracks. The album features Trevor Rabin as a guest, who was the lead guitarist and songwriter with Yes from 1982 to 1994.

"Wait For You"'s music video was filmed at "Disney-MGM Studios' New York backlot".[5]

Reception[]

William Ruhlmann of AllMusic stated the record was "palatable, but without the famous name it would be hard to distinguish from the army of other Zep imitators".[4]

Young Bonham is almost exclusively associated with the type of old-fashioned hard rock pioneered by his dad’s band. Indeed, Jason’s former group, Bonham, scored a Top 40 album in 1990 (“The Disregard of Timekeeping”) largely by following the mighty Zep’s thunderous sonic recipe.
