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. It is also their final album as frontman Rob Aston announced the band's break up in January 2006. This is also the very first rock album to be screwed and chopped, which was done by Paul Wall
