Prove You Wrong continued the experimentation with groove metal that began on Prong's previous album Beg to Differ, toning down much of the hardcore punk elements from their 1980s output in favor of a more experimental sound that was influenced by alternative, thrash metal, funk, progressive and industrial music.[1][12]

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly wrote that Prong "combines postindustrial noise, a rebellious punk mentality, and heavy-metal flourishes and, with a minimalist approach that is anything but simplistic, strips them all down to a brutal essence."[6] Trouser Press wrote: "While the trio’s devotion to precisely lurching rhythms keeps the songs choppy — a clenched fist twitching spasmodically as it prepares to deliver a haymaker — this dull record makes that attribute part of a tentative shift toward industrial anti-musicality."[10]
