I can’t give exact details, but the outage should happen sometime in the next day, and should be less than 24 hours. Should anything especially exciting happen, keen an eye on the Fourtheye Facebook page for details.

As I was poking around Fourtheye today, I noticed that we’ve actually passed the 10th Anniversary of this site, back on June 8th 2005. It’s been a long and fruitful journey, and hopefully one that will continue for some time yet. Over the years I’ve made 2,124 posts (2125 including this one) which have gathered over 31,000 comments. We’ve worn out a couple of forums, and even shifted servers over… Read More »Fourtheye 10th Anniversary Makeover!
It’s taken me a while (mostly since I’ve been away) but after much procrastination I’ve finally come up with my Top 10 Albums for 2014. This year, I found I had trouble making a top 10, not because I hadn’t listened to much, but because I felt while there were many good albums, there weren’t that many that moved into the great “automatic top 10” selection category. Still, in the… Read More »My Top 10 Albums of 2014

Our 2013 Top 10 (or top 12 as it turned out) list was filled with the usual assortment of 20 year old bands that we’ve all heard before. One of the problems with running a poll like this is that it inevitably becomes a popularity contest. However, many of us are interested into listening to something a little different, or a little newer. Below, I present the Top 10 albums… Read More »Fourtheye Readers Top 10 albums you may not have heard
Every year we hear the same old complaints from the same old people – “Year xxyy was a terrible year for albums”. 2013 was certainly an interesting year. On the surface of things, big bands like NIN, Tomahawk, QOTSA, Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath and Pearl Jam all had albums on the horizon. Mostly they were all disappointing though, with only one of those artists making my top 10. I… Read More »My Top 10 albums of 2013
Our poll to collect your Top 10 albums has concluded, and I’ve finally counted all 230 votes received! As there were 3 albums tied for 10th spot, I decided this year we shall have a top 12. Voting was quite tight beyond the top 5, with only 1 vote separating the next 15 that didn’t make the cut. Most of the albums selected were by long standing artists that we’ve… Read More »Fourtheye Readers Top 12 albums of 2013
