Could have sworn that came out years ago. Maybe I'm just thinking of the announcement?

Wait, I think it *did* come out a year ago!

It did come out last year, it is pretty good until about the moment the Lounge Lizards play their first show, then it does get into "score-settling" (though I'd say "whining" was a little more accurate) for another 200 pages.
