Unlike the US, France has always refused to recognise Scientology as a religion, arguing that it is a purely commercial operation designed to make as much money as it can at the expense of often vulnerable victims...

You know what the tragically under-recognized PE album is, though... I was just listening to it the other day, and it kicks all kindsa ass up and down the block: Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age. I swear, it's their masterpiece. Criminally underrated.
