For this week's NOW episode, Jake and Ryley are discussing albums they love that are kept from perfection by one inexcusable dud track. How much can one bad song detract from a great album experience, and what are the examples that are hardest to forgive? Let us know what you'd choose in the comments on YouTube!

Also up for discussion this week are excellent new albums from Tim Hecker and Liturgy, as well as metal recommendations from The HIRS Collective, a comeback for indie rock legends Daughter, the latest windmill scene epic from HMTLD, a tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto, and much more! What have you been listening to?
