Problem with the concept album idea is that Karl said himself (on the BF Interviews/Darren Emerson remix Promo discs) that the track order changed many times and that Moaner was a last-minute addition.

i just listened to Beaucoup this weekend on a cartrip, and the idea of long-distance relationships (through the wire, over the phone) is very distinct throughout. Not really a concept, though. Most songs have personal/relationship elements. Plus, since Karl says "girl" and "boy" so often in songs, you never really know if its relevant to a set of lyrics or more of a "sound" word...something that fills the place and sounds cool, but doesn't mean much.
