[kj] MMXII first listen:

[Dominico C]

Huh, don't understand the negative reviews for MMXII? This album is growing 
on my fast, even faster than AD. Though, "Ghosts is one my top favorite 
tracks from KJ. "Rapture", does not register with any similarities to 
Exorcism... Don't understand the logic?? Really enjoying my first listen to 
MMXII!!

Maybe this will help:

1. Download the free .rar extractor application to your desktop
2. Install the .rar extractor application by clicking on the "Install" icon 
on your desktop
3. Download the MMXII file from any of the available sources, like Mediafire
4. Depending on where you choose to save the file, you will see a single 
file with an ".rar" extension
5. Right-click on that file and choose "extract"
6. You will be prompted to identify where you want the full album folder to 
be located. Choose a location and click "OK"
7. Enjoy

If you're downloading from a torrent site, I can't help you; this is in 
reference to the downloads from Nick and the other guy whose name escapes me 
now (but thanks much) who made the album available for private download.

I still can't figure out how to find a KJ file of the album. All the links

The only other way I can help is to reupload without the file being in
rar format, but without trying to sound disrespectful the file size is
reduced for uploading and I honestly would have thought some nearly
two decades after, most people would have figured out zip and rar
extraction as a matter of course.

Unless you are using a Commodore Amiga or Atari ST or something else
out the arc ages (which would require far more knowledge to get
online) then PC and MAC uncompressing files should be very
easy...Rheinhold has given good instructions here....if that doesn't
help look for a tutorial on Youtube via google.

One more thing Greg...when you went to the link to download, did you
click the download button at the bottom of the page rather than the
spam inducing other buttons that are on there?
