Prove You Wrong is an album by American heavy metal band Prong, released in 1991.[4][5] It is their only album with Troy Gregory on bass guitar.[6] The album includes a cover of "(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)", originally by the Stranglers.[7]

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][8] Lead singer Tommy Victor said it had taken him a year to write the lyrics, which contained an accumulation of 16 years of experiences and anxieties, "looking through a rat's eyes at the whole New York experience."[9]

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."[13] 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."[6]
