Only listened twice but pretty much sums up my feelings. I'd give it a 3 though.
I expected to like it more to be honest but it just didn't do it for me.

A couple more votes today brings the total number of voters to 18 and a nice round average of 5.00 for Planetary Unfolding by Michael Stearns. A bold choice by @GoatersLeftShin that not everybody liked but some certainly found replay value in it's space-inspired themes.
For week #12, @bennyboy is our nominator. All this prog/space-age stuff has made Benny have a change of heart from his original nomination, so this week we're headed right down South to the Greek capital for this double album.
What? You mean you don't want to listen to Demis Roussos?

Whatever it is I pray it’s a better double album than Now That’s What I Call fucking Christmas, currently on a loop in our house :-)

Might as well post it now that the cat's out of the bag - well done to @Mancitydoogle for guessing correctly.
Here's what @bennyboy has to say about his nomination......
Changed my mind.I was wanting to get back to a rock record after all the latest picks.
Southern Rock Opera by The Drive By Truckers.
Released 2001.
A brilliant double lp of songs growing up in the South. two-CD fictionalization of the Lynyrd Skynyrd story.
A young man grows up in Alabama during the 1970s and struggles with its social and political realities and questions what it means to be from the South.
Great story telling in all the tracks and interesting to hear different opinions about the race issues in the South.
I will just let you's listen to the story telling and see what you's think.
Great sounding album but if you get a chance to see them live,take it.Brilliant live band..
Patterson Hood.... Vocals and Guitar.
Mike Cooley......... Vocals and Guitar
Rob Malone...........Vocals and Guitar.
Earl Hicks ......Base.
Brad Morgan....Drums
