None of the band have ever seemed that interested in doing solo work, and Michael Stipe will never lose the ability to write good songs ... even though he is seriously dabbling in visual art these days.
... an extended hiatus would make the critics appreciate them again (worked for The Pixies, Blur and The Stone Roses). These days, bands seem to come back much bigger than when they originally quit. That is something that has changed a lot with the Internet.
