John Ralston released his sophomoric album titled Sorry Vampire on October 2, 2007 on Vagrant Records. 

I listened to his album in its entirety and I have to say that I really enjoyed the album.  

The album commences with John Ralston’s hit song Fragile and concludes with Where You Used To Sleep.  

The songs in between like When I Was A Bandage, I Guess I Wasted My Summer Now, Lessons I & II, Ghetto Tested, No One Loves You Like I Do and Haven’t Missed You All My Life makes you addicted to listening to more of his music just like a vampire is addicted to blood.
