No Authority is an awesome up and coming group. I recently saw them open for 98 Degrees and they were great! I can't wait for their next CD to come out!

I thought that No Authority made a good debut. I played it a lot for several years. But if I'd see it in the store, I'd buy it again. Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III (his brother), and others produced some solid songs here. Don't Stop, Up and Down, Girlfriend, Please Don't Break My Heart, the salt-shaker sounding If You Want Me are some very funky songs. The ballads have a hip-hop like funkiness to them too. I love their remake of DeBarge's I Like It. And from someone who remembered hearing the original DeBarge hit in 1983, it's quite good vocally. The next album wasn't as good as this first one. But they made quite an impression with this debut. I wished that they'd still be making music now instead of formally breaking up.

The 4 lads from So. Calif did a fairly good job on this one. It's a fairly good album, a little heavy on the R&B for my tastes, but I think that alot of people will be very happy with this one. The enhancements included on the cd will give you more information on the group

Originally discovered by pop king, Mr. Michael Jackson - No Authority offer a new type of sound to an otherwise over-crowded music industry. Their debut disc offers slices of up-beat tempos with some beautiful ballads sung with intense emotion. Although the last few tracks are weak compared to the rest of the album, it offers some rare gems including the heart-breaking tune, "Why" and "One More Time" is destined to become a hit. All and all, a great album for any pop/r&b music fan!

All I have to say is this is a wonderfull CD. I couldn't believe it when I first put it in my player. I have been a fan since 97 and I don't think that they have gotten the recognition they should have. The songs on the CD are well written and of course well sung.

This is my favorite CD, and 'm not just saying that because No Authority is my favorite group either! This CD makes you wanna listen to it over and over again so go out and buy it...or at least check it out! Can't wait for the *NEW* CD to come out!

Omg, this is the best cd ever made!! I luv No Authority to death and this is definately an awesome cd!! If you dont already have it go out and buy it! It has the upbeat make you wanna get up off your butt and dance songs plus the slow tearjerkers...I LUV IT!!!

I love the new voices and fresh beat.The songs are new.The voices are smooth and with the beat.(Might I add they are cute).I hope they make more albums.GO NO AUTHORITY!!Keep it up.

'Keep On,' the '97 debut release from No Authority, one of the 'first' boy bands (of the wave that followed Backstreet Boys' big '96 break; 98 Degrees, Hanson.) These southern California guys have true personality: although it sounds odd, their lyrics suggest ultra-popular middle school rich white Los Angeles beach suburb kids that host parties every week. Their crush relationships, if they could be called that, are just exagerated by simple lyrics and toasty ballads.

They all seem really young, too. For a group where the members are all in their mid-teens, they harmonize quite smoothly, and have a good rapper in Danny Z(what's his name.) Their music is slightly more soulful than the usual bunch, too. Unfortunately, they are truly missing any real dance tracks (with the possible exception of "Don't Stop," which samples MC Hammer's hit of the same name.) Standouts include the ballads "Why" and "Girlfriend," the eerie bop of the title track, the insistent hip-hop of "Don't Stop," and the lyrically trivial ballad "One More Time," with lyrics such as "Give me one more chance / I'll show you love and romance." Please get more complicated.

Overall, though, the boys have smooth voices and ultra-slick production. Their infectious R&B sound is a comforting relief in the backlight of groups like Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync. And if you too feel the lack of real dance tunes, don't worry; the self-titled sophomore release is full of 'em ("What I Wanna Do," "A Girl Like You," and "Don't Get Better.")

I got to meet them at the All that music and more festival adn they are da bomb even if Josh is n't with them any more who cares i luv them any way
