    A good decent solid decent EP that anyone can enjoy, death cab fan or not. The first four tracks are all solid, and each has meaning that can be quite relatable and then a demo of talking bird, which is a great song. Definitely worth my 5 dollars.

  1. Such tunes may not have suited the bittersweet beauty of Stairs, but they're quite good in their own right, making The Open Door EP something more than a fans-only release.
  2. The EP highlight comes with 'My Mirror Speaks' recalling the band's dynamic work from "Plans."
  3. As the title suggests, The Open Door is full of fresh air, wide spaces and rollicking melodies--a welcome change from the tangled Big Sur woods and claustrophobia of "Narrow Stairs."
