"Judge, Jury and Executioner" is a 2013 single by the supergroup Atoms for Peace.[1][2][3][4] It is the second single from their debut album, Amok, preceded by "Default". It was made available for sale on iTunes on January 7, 2013 and was released as a 12" vinyl on March 19, 2013.[1]
History
The song debuted live during the band's U.S. tour in October 2009 and April 2010.[5] The song was released digitally on January 7, 2013, after its broadcast on BBC Radio 1.[2] The fans who pre-ordered the album were able to free download the song. A music video, composed of visuals by Tarik Barri, was released simultaneously.[1] The limited vinyl version of the single, with an accompanying b-side "S.A.D." was released on March 19, 2012.[1]
A hidden live video of the song, recorded in Fuji Rock Festival was released on the band's official website.[6][7]
"Judge, Jury and Executioner" is also an alternate name for "Myxomatosis", a song by Thom Yorke's band Radiohead, released on their album, Hail to the Thief.[8]
Reception
The song generally met with positive reviews, despite being likened to the works of Radiohead and Thom Yorke's solo material. Will Hermes of Rolling Stone gave it a 3.5 star out of 5, with praising "Yorke's swarming choral-style" and Flea's basslines, and describing it as "a morph between Flea's instrument and Yorke's humming".[9] Daniel Kreps of Spin depicted the earlier version of the song as "a dark, aggressive centerpiece among the post-Eraser material", while calling the album version as "mellower and more harmonious".[5] Kia Makarechi of The Huffington Post extensively compared the song with the works of Radiohead, claiming that the band is "a sonic extension of Radiohead".[4] David Greenwald of Billboard also described the song as "a blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, with Yorke's voice floating over wordless background vocals and insistent percussion".[8]
