I went on Wikipedia and looked at the "list of concept albums" article to try finding some other good ones, and I ctrl+f'd everyones faves and Britney Jean is on there. Am I missing something? 
Quote:
Composition[edit]
Britney Jean is a concept album about "the loneliness of pop life".[17] The opening track "Alien" deems celebrity an isolating experience that Britney describes in terms of feeling like an extraterrestrial[18] over synth bleaps,[19] which according to some critics, "it echoes William Orbit work with Madonna on Ray of Light".[20][21] The second track "Work Bitch" is an EDM-influenced dance song,[22] where Spears sings about what it takes to be rich, famous and beautiful,[18] repeatedly encouraging listeners to "get to work, bitch."[22] The third track "Perfume" is a 1980s-influenced power ballad, which Spears described as "incredibly special to me because it hits close to home, and I think the story is relatable to everyone. Everyone's been through an insecure moment in a relationship that's left them vulnerable and I think this song captures that."[23][24] The fourth track "It Should Be Easy", which features will.i.am, insists that love "shouldn't be complicated", with Britney imagining a bright-normal-future with a man who's stolen her heart,[18] with "robotized" voice and EDM beats.[25] The song was heavily criticized for the excessive use of Autotune, credited by will.i.am.[26][27]
The album's fifth track "Tik Tik Boom" finds Britney begging a lover to make her "tik, tik, tik, tik, boom" over dubstep beats.[20] It was described as a "club banger" and "the closest the album comes to bringing Blackout 2.0 to life", featuring a "sex-drenched" appearance from rapper T.I..[28] "Body Ache" follows with its lyrical theme about dancing hard in a club, over shrieking sirens and EDM beats,[29] whilst "Til It's Gone" gives value to the stability of a good relationship, albeit after it dissolves,[18] with its electronic and Eurotrash sounds.[17][30] With the eighth track "Passenger", which noodles around with some EDM impulses before imploding into "brooding" pop-rock,[25] Britney emotes about finding happiness after being willing to cede control.[31] "Chillin' With You" features Spears' young sister Jamie Lynn into a song about grasping at happiness over lush synth-pop and electrofolk sound.[21] The album's closing track on the standard edition, "Don't Cry", opens with a Spaghetti Western-esque whistle,[25] and it finds Britney refusing to give in to post-relationship grief.[18] Some critics labelled it "her best vocal performance on the album."[26][31] The last few tracks on the deluxe edition are love, friendship, support, religious songs, about her finding happiness again, they are called, Brightest Morning Star, Hold On Tight and Now That I Found You. Evident on the deluxe album.
