Music and lyrics
Statement combines rap vocals with singing, and is regarded as a rap metal album. According to Alex Henderson of AllMusic: "Nonpoint's Statement very much reflects a time when metalheads grew up being obsessed with hip-hop. Most of the CD is forceful, abrasive rap-metal along the lines of (hed)p.e., Korn, and Limp Bizkit." The track "Orgullo" is rapped in Spanish.[2]
Critical reception
Alex Henderson of AllMusic wrote: "Nonpoint won't win any awards for innovation. But despite its limitations and its derivative nature, Statement gives listeners an exhilarating dose of rap-metal bombast."[2]
