To an extent, it discontinues the stylistic progression of the band thus far. The original eponymous release was by far the most aggressive the band ever put out. With The Beyond, they toned the dischordance down, slowing tempos and dropping the sound even lower than before. The critically acclaimed Salvation was their most serene album so far; bearing in mind 'serene' for Cult of Luna is still fairly heavy metal. Somewhere Along the Highway is heavier than Salvation in most respects; it is not a continuation of the pattern, but in terms of composition and expression of emotion, many consider it superlative. Continuing the trend begun with Salvation, it has lost almost all semblances of doom, and is decidedly a post-metal release, replete with calm passages, climaxes and light-dark interplay; as one reviewer notes, the acoustic sections "bring to mind the serene moments heard on Mogwai albums". "Dim" and "Dark City, Dead Man" are considered by many as stand-out tracks.[citation needed]
