They did the tour that the former members had set up, and produced the album Drama. Although some of the songs from that album were OK in concert, (the tickets were all sold months before the change was announced - I wondered if it was false advertising . . .) when Horn tried to sing Anderson's songs it was pitiful, painful, and depressing.
