    A couple of loser tracks, but some other smile-inducing numbers that sound great played loud. The Legend track is a standout.

    I agree with part of the review. I was thinking why wa Swgio Mendes-THE Segio mendes- have someone talkinh about booties and titties on his album? That was pretty glaring BUT the album is still on point.

    Whose album is this anyway - Will.I.Am or Sergio Mendes? I'm so disappointed in Will.I.Am's decision to impose himself on so many of the tracks on this album. He is a great producer and the idea of he and Sergio working together was exciting. However, his ego must have gotten the better of him. He couldn't keep himself from spewing forth his usual corniness all over these beautiful tracks. He dumbs down the brilliance of this project with his unecessary and lackluster rhyming skills. Let's hope that on his next production effort he'll keep his mouth shut and let the real artists shine.… Expand

    This album lacks the organic unpredictability of both Brazilian hip-hop and samba. While the tracks are tight and well produced, they are too square and mechanical.

    I love the album. I especially loved the song, "Loose Ends". It's the perfect song for whats going on with the war. It's not many artists that have the guts to speak out with their music.

    The mix of artists and styles in such an effective way is reminiscent Carlos Santana's multi-Grammy winning Supernatural CD.

    When Timeless succeeds, it's beautiful, boundary-breaking music.

    Timeless is a mixed bag, but it's not because of Mendes. His own playing and arranging is utterly elegant.
