Statement is the major label debut, and third studio album by American nu metal band Nonpoint, and their third studio release overall.[1] It was their first album released through MCA Records (now Geffen Records). The album debuted No. 166 on the Billboard 200 charts. The first single from the album, "What a Day", peaked at No. 24 on the Mainstream Rock charts.
The song "Orgullo" translates to "Pride"; it's about Soriano and Rivera's Puerto Rican Heritage. It originally appeared on the band's 1996 demo Generate.
The song "Tribute" is a cover of sorts. It mashes up Children's Story by Slick Rick, Woo-Hah by Busta Rhymes, and Method Man by the Wu-Tang Clan. Guest vocals provided by Grimm of Darwin's Waiting Room.
