I was going to counter what you said but then realised i can't really.

Nothing in the years since Welcome to my Nightmare in 75 have matched his output from 71-75.

Trash was a huge commercial success and possibly equaled that period in terms of Alice's popularity along with follow up Hey Stoopid , but overall song quality they aren't as consistent.

Whilst the likes of Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Judas Priest and arguably AC/DC among others have produced works in the 2000's as good as if not better than their so called early heydays, Alice sadly has not. Kiss are also in the Alice bracket.

Don't get me wrong a handful of Alice songs in the years since are just as good as the early output, but it's songs not actual recorded albums.
