''Transitions'' is the third EP by Canadian rock band Silverstein. It is the band's first release with Hopeless since they left their longtime label, Victory Records.

Writing and recording

''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.
