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.

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.

As some of you have noticed already, there have been some changes to the Fourtheye forum lately. The shift was prompted by and influx of spam, and a lack of tools on the old forum for combating this properly. As a result I’ve changed the forums to the latest version of phpBB and they are now available for posting. The move to phpBB means we’re now using a free and… Read More »Forum Update
