Haha you did what I did! Read Joyce starting with Portrait or Dubliners and then work to the more complex stuff. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
The Mars Volta is now an 8.5 - There were numerous disagreements with their record label and so a title track from the album was scrapped, later to be placed on the B-side of The Widow, however the Band have stated that it is meant to be played at the start of the album before Cygnus...
This track is of a similar nature to the longer suites on the album, and provides the perfect exposition for the lp; Primus-esque guitar with dense ambient noise and primordial screams dominate this 14-minute masterpiece. I hope all fans of the album root this one out as it makes a masterpiece even better.
It's not a bad song per se, I just wasn't really captivated it by it. A sillier thing I'm into at the moment is FutureSex/LoveSounds, a production masterpiece but stupid nonetheless.

William Basinski's Disintegration Loops may not be great art, but it sure is beautiful (:
