Two of them have new solo albums out at the moment. James Dean Bradfield's is alright and Nicky Wire should have got someone else to sing his lyrics, oh that boy isn't even good enough for drunken karaoke! But he can't half write.
I doubt they'll ever be as good as back in the mid-90s days of 'The Holy Bible'.

Solo projects onwards (2006–present)
In late 2005, both Bradfield and Wire announced intentions towards releasing solo material prior to a new album by the band. On Christmas Day 2005 (25 December 2005), the band posted on the official site an mp3 of Wire's new solo track "I Killed The Zeitgeist" free for download during the course of the entire day. The sound was drastically different from the band's, featuring much more distorted instrumentation and Wire's throaty vocals. Singles entitled "Break My Heart Slowly" from Wire and "That's No Way To Tell A Lie" from Bradfield were later premiered on radio. Bradfield's aforementioned debut single as well as album (entitled The Great Western) were released in July while Wire's single and debut album entitled I Killed The Zeitgeist were released in September.
The band were set to play the "One Earth" environmental awareness concert hosted by "Climate Change Now" at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on the 28th of January, but it was later canceled much to the dismay of ticket buyers. Also, in early 2006 they contributed a cover of British indie cult rockers June Brides' "The Instrumental" for the band's tribute album entitled Still Unravished.
On November 6, 2006, the 10th anniversary edition of Everything Must Go is set to be released. It will include the original album, demos, B-sides, remixes, rehearsals and alternate takes of the album's songs, spread out over two CDs. An additional DVD, featuring music videos, live performances, TV appearances, a 45-minute documentary on the making of the album, and two films by Patrick Jones, will complete the three-disc set.
The band are currently working on their follow up to Lifeblood which is set to be released in 2007. It is said to be more rock-oriented than their previous album, with Wire claiming "it's sounding like The White Album played by Guns N' Roses - pure melodies mixed with rock 'n' roll."
