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 the Billboard 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 be screwed and chopped, which was done by Paul Wall.
