The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Everyone Out of the Water," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The lyrics are clever and introspective, and the instrumentation is tight and well-crafted. Other standout tracks include "Cold Calling," a haunting ballad that showcases Pace's emotive vocals, and "Senior Statesman," a driving rock anthem that is sure to get audiences moving.
One of the strengths of Smooth Sailing is the diversity of the tracks.
