Somewhere Along the Highway is the fourth studio album by Swedish post-metal band Cult of Luna, released in 2006 by Earache Records. A concept album, it revolves around the motif of male loneliness. It was warmly received by critics and accordingly claimed several awards.
The album followed Salvation in the band's chronology, and differed from it in terms of sound and feel. While Salvation was deemed "celestial", Somewhere Along the Highway was characterized as "unpolished" by the band.
