I think it is more of just a title to label the album too. Her albums usually have a loose concept, and when I say concept album I don't mean thematically; a true concept album to me is in the actually music composition, not in the lyrics, styling, etc. The only album I have on my iPod that I would consider a "concept album" would be of Montreal's "Hissing Fauna" because the music connects from one song to another, making it feel like the album blends and transforms as it progresses with an obvious arc. Too, Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die" album is somewhat conceptual to me because the songs sample other songs on the album, making the songs have a relation to one another and make you think back to earlier songs. So far I can't see HBYA and Pq really having a concept in relation to each other musically. But if Timmy chants in every song maybe it will
