In order to prepare myself for Ghost Stories, I have made some pretty crazy rules for myself, so I can fully appreciate and understand their new music.

Since the release of Midnight, I have prevented myself from listening to any of the band's past works in any form, no iTunes, no YouTube, and no live performances at all. I have only played songs from this era, Midnight, Magic, Oceans, Always in my Head (Audio) and Another's Arms (Audio). I won't listen to A Sky Full of Stars until the studio version comes out, and won't listen the album as a whole until their concert special May 18th.

So, what have you guys done to prepare yourselves for Ghost Stories?
