Are they any good? Surely they can't all be of the highest quality?

Depends on the caliber of fan I would say! Good is the most subjective word in the world! A hardcore fan would tell you with the utmost sincerity that every album is in a range from solid to amazing and a fairweather fan would say "Hey, let's listen to Schools Out again as the hardcore fan groans! Kind of like you with Radiohead and me with The Smashing Pumpkins! :D I really don't jibe with the words "good" or "sucks"!

Well I think all of the ones I posted are great. Very varied and still following the uniform of Alice Cooper. I left off six or so because I don't care for Alice's work pre-Love It To Death since the band hadn't found their sound yet and I left out the string of albums he released in the early 80's because he was pretty wrecked from alcohol at that point and his music suffered (but I know there are some other folks on this forum along that would disagree with that. It's basically like Sooty said. I mean, Alice is my second favorite artist ever but I still don't like those albums.)
