The main purpose it serves is to create a bit of a break from the ‘relentless pounding’ to make the build up and release of the solo that much more intense. Which is why it’s a good thing it’s a short bridge.

I like how the bridge resolves itself by quickly *descending* into more threatening minor chords at "no sorrow for the unaccountable", instead of taking the more emotionally positive route it could have; the duration of it is the antithesis of WES, which has a whole section of song dedicated to "bridge" material (like RVM or Corduroy), but this song didn't need that, it's a subtler jam that's purposefully over in a flash

"no tolerance for intolerance" is a good line

IDLES are fantastic and are one of the best live bands on the planet.

Is Grace by Idles the new fantastic single everyone is talking about?
Or are there two bands called Idles?

Because I've listened to Grace and I don't get what you got your panties in a knot over for :|

The Idles seem like doofuses and not in a good way.

To add PJ content, Ed does sound like a haggard Bono in this song.

Ooooh slightly racist but I understand. I hope you’re enjoying it! The entire series is mind bendingly phenomenal. I think they’re the best sci-fi books in my opinion, even more so than Left Hand of Darkness or Dune.

I initially read that as “sound like a Hagrid Bono” and now all I can hear in my head is “Who’s gonna ride your wild horses, Harry?”

Not to mention that Idles fans appear to be predominantly crybabies
