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

 Fantastic CD, good old music with a new twist September 2, 2008
I love this CD, as a ballroom dancer, I found it offered a new twist to the old favorites. Most of the songs are terrific,upbeat and different.
Genius! August 29, 2008
The album is appropriately titled "Timeless" because the classic bossa nova tunes are now being praised by later generations that gives the tunes no time limit. Once I heard the "Mas Que Nada" arrangement by Mendes and Will.I.Am, I was hooked. Every hip hop and bossa lover should have this in their collection.
 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.
