There's no way I can say Covenant is the second best Alien film. The first two are far and away superior to the rest.
I need to go back and watch ALIENS again, but I was not a huge fan of this film. Coming off of the first film, it felt way too cheesy and over-the-top. Resurrection felt like ALIENS only it didn't take itself seriously at all, which is why I actually kind of enjoyed it.
I'm pretty apathetic towards Alien 3. It has elements that I really like, but the studio meddling drags it down.

It's definitely not one to watch expecting the first film again. Aliens is a great movie, but it exists in a completely separate genre than Alien.
Alien is a horror movie. Aliens is a war movie with the sci-fi elements. Aliens was more or less the first movie to seamlessly blend those two genres.
I don't get the idea of it being over the top. Stuff like the rescue mission at the power generator, the aliens breaking into the compound and the facehugger loose with Newt...I can't see those as over the top. Those are executed 3x better than anything in Resurrection, and that's before the climax with the eggs and the ending battle.
