As you might expect, Timeless isn?t your parents? Sergio Mendes. Take "Mais Que Nada," the opener from that topselling staple of post-60s, post-bossa, near-kitsch Sergio Mendes & Brasil ?66: Greatest Hits. Here it?s no simple, slinky groove. The Black-Eyed Peas are along for the bumpin? ride. What it amounts to is the same intercultural collision that happened when bossa nova met jazz and pop via Stan Getz?s tenor sax, except here the meeting is between the lounge and, presumably, the street. John Legend and India.Arie keep the session on a downtempo, neo Brazilian vibe on "Please Baby Don?t" and the title track (respectively). Once those are tunes end, though, it?s back to the bump and the beats and the irresistible party vibe of the set. Don?t fret, though, as the Peas keep things light enough to trigger innocent headbobs and chilled out dance steps. Just as you might hear Timeless and agree that it ain?t your parents? Sergio, your parents can also hear will.i.am?s and the Peas?s pivotal roles and say that it?s not their kids? Black-Eyed Peas, either --Andrew Bartlett

 Not liking this combo August 9, 2008
Usually I like the new mixes but this one doesn't do it for me. The old Sergio Mendes albums stand alone and I much prefer the purity and smoothness of his early sound. I gave it three because the cover is awesome.
 NIGHTMARE July 31, 2008
Brazilian beats fused with Hip-Hop..........a marriage made in HELL! Don't waste your time or money.
great listen July 30, 2008
i have enjoyed this album since i bought it. it's a great listen when you're cleaning. all the songs and artist did an excellent job putting this together. it really is a timeless album.
 Hip hop shed lights on gifted past. July 23, 2008
I first heard the hip hop version of "mas que nada" during the world cup in 2006. I loved the samba/hip hop mix. When you listen to the album you can hear the musical talents of Sergio Mendes. Will I Am introduces Mendes to a whole new generation.
I loved this album. The collaborations with some of today's bigger artist should satisfy anyone's hunger for something new and relatable. Plus this album made me want to look for Mendes' previous works, which are pure genuis.
desert island 5 July 17, 2008
I search the world in pursuit of works like this one. I feel blessed upon owning it. 51 years old and I grew up listening to my father's Sergio Mendez stuff (as well as Ellington etc). The hybrid that resulted from this masterpiece is amongst the most perfect I own in my collection. My only objection is that I have not been able to stop playing it ever since I bought it years ago. A Real Masterpiece. I will buy 2 copies on line today for the sake of giving to "music enthusiest friends"
Two others I may recomend with confidence that equal this one:
Rock Swings - Paul Anka
Rio Momo - David Byrne (talking heads fame)
