Lower caption ="Haunted Cities" is the second album by the Transplants. It was released on
June 21 ,2005 and includes the radio hit "Gangsters & Thugs". The album sold close to 34,000 copies in its first week and came in at #28 on theBillboard 200 . Despite the quick sales at first, many deem it to be a flop and a great disappointment after their self-titled album, probably due to the fact that the album lacked a second single and a proper tour. This is also the very first rock album to bescrewed and chopped , which was done byPaul Wall .Track listing
