Mcr's solo projects

So, i've been going though my small cd collection and i found my own beloved copy of Ray's album, Remember the Laughter! I always forget how homey comforting his music is. And the fact he released it for free too!

I've also been listening to Hesitant Alien a lot lately, it's great!

But it made me wonder, why aren't we talking more about the guys' solo projects more, and only focus on the main band.
