I`ve always thought that may be because they have a free reign over what they record.In a band situation there are other members to veto the music & tell someone when something isn`t up to scratch.Plus if it`s a side project they might not be bothered about sales or anything like that , so things can tend to get very self indulgent.
I love Graham Coxons work with Blur but his first 4 solo albums are f*cking awful give or take a couple of songs.It`s almost as if when he left the band he started making an real effort with his solo stuff. Because his last album was a huge improvement & more listenable than the others.
