Transitions is the third EP by the Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein. It is the band's first release with Hopeless since they left their longtime label, Victory Records. Transitions was released digitally through online media outlets on December 7, 2010. It's also the band's first EP since When the Shadows Beam in 2002, prior to signing with Victory.
Transitions is the band's first release with their new label, Hopeless. Vocalist Shane Told has always been a long-time fan of the label and the albums they release. Prior to the announcement of the EP, Told had stated in interviews that the band had already written 16 songs for a new album, much more than the average Silverstein album. The Transitions EP has two songs that will appear on the band's 2011 full-length album, as well as three B-sides.
Transitions was mixed by Cameron Webb.
On November 30, 2010, the EP was made available for pre-order on the iTunes Store. The opening track "Sacrifice" was posted online on December 3. Transitions was released digitally on December 7. According to lead singer Shane Told, the songs "Sacrifice" and "Darling Harbour" will appear on the band's fifth full-length album, and a non-acoustic version of "Replace You" might make the album. After the success of the EP, physical copies were sold.
