Is The Soft Bulletin a concept album?

Is ‘Soft Bulletin’ the Best Album of 1999?
There’s no telling where the Lips will go from here, but it’s almost beside the point — not just the best album of 1999, The Soft Bulletin might be the best record of the entire decade. What Is the Light?
When did the Flaming Lips Soft Bulletin come out?
The Soft Bulletin is the ninth studio album by American rock band The Flaming Lips, released by Warner Bros. Records on May 17, 1999 in the United Kingdom, and on June 22, 1999 in the United States.
Is the Soft Bulletin the most extraordinary rock record you’ve ever heard?
The Soft Bulletin may be the most extraordinary rock record you’ll hear all year. Their music isn’t, how you say, universally accessible, and the weirdness gets same-y, but no one else has posited a parallel universe in which the Sixties and the Nineties exist simultaneously, allowing for a peculiarly convincing brand of monolithic robotic swirl.
Why are there so many remixes in the Soft Bulletin?
Upon its release, The Soft Bulletin was subject to record company demands for commercial-sounding music, hence the inclusion of remixes of several songs. In addition, the US (“The Spiderbite Song”) and UK (“Slow Motion”) CDs each contain one track that the other does not.
