This is the first Venetian Snares album I've ever heard and after skipping through a few tracks I can safely say that there is absolutely no violins. This is straight yet manic 'acid drum and bass' and it sounds very much like something that could have been released on Rephlex or even be made by Richard D James. Those MEN releases pops up in my mind for some reason..... Detrementalist - the title - of the album could be just as well have been junglist. Yes, that's what this is: Jungle!

that's VS for ya...
Strings are to him what piano was to RDJ circa Drukqs, in other words a much-needed distraction.

Ok...
As I said, I've never ever listened to anything by VS before. I imagined his music to be more dark and industrial than this acid jungle stuff. I even look forward to listen more closely to this tomorrow...
Is it true that this is his 332nd official studio album, or is that just an attempt at being funny about the large volume of records VS has produced?
And sorry about the bad grammar in my previous post...

If you've heard one VS album - I was going to say: "...you've pretty much heard them all", but that sounds too harsh.
But based on your description and the samples I've heard, this album is a fairly typical example of the kind of sounds Venetian Snares has to offer.
There are some more obscure releases, collaborations and such, which sound more noise-inspired and even industrial, but that's certainly not the norm. Then, of course, there's a few of those orchestrated albums (among my favourites, too) that came out in the last couple of years. But his sound is consistently "drill and bass" or "breakcore" or whatever you want to call it.
I'm actually looking forward to this album, even though it isn't his 332nd album - he's prolific, yea, but not Merzbow-prolific.

Another of the more standard VS releases. Not without enjoyable moments though.
Actually I found it easier to listen through this one than "My downfall" which was garbage imo.

taken it upon myself to not listen to any of the tracks on the album before I have it in my hands....so here's hoping for a good album. I know he's made his fair share of crap but he comes out with some real gems every now and again

Hey, I like this album a lot! A pleasant surprise after a few years of boredom.
I haven't enjoyed a VS album like this since "Rossz" back in the day. This album doesn't have as much variety as that album, though. This is just pure drill and bass madness. But so far so good! When the breaks are done right and the energy is at place, everything flows smoothly.
At 51 minutes, this is more than an EP padded with a couple of fillers (unlike a few of his recent outings). In fact, the album only gets better towards the end. There's some mayhem tracks here. What gerbik said, plus we shouldn't forget Miss Balaton.
Detrimentalist is not going to win Venetian Snares many new friends, since it doesn't break (get it?) much new ground, and those who haven't enjoyed his releases so far shouldn't even bother, but as far as Aaron Funk albums go, this one is, yes, cock solid.
It launches in my top 5, although probably not in the top 3.

i wonder if snares is tired of breakcore and wants to write classical, and just released this as a concession to fans
*if* it's new material, it doesn't have the ingenuity of old, imo
at least compared to when he was first innovating in the genre
i'm a snares fan but i only really *loved* bebikukorica nigiri

Listened to it. More mayhem. It's ok, but I've heard better from him years ago, and this just seems to be doing the same thing with those good old breaks mushups and cheesy samples. I used to get annoyed when people said he repeated himself, but really, I've realised the error of my ways these days.
