Sure, let's.
I think Dirty Love is an okay song. As ks_dollar said, when listening to the album it's quite nice and it's definitely not a track that I would say I would go out of my way and skip, but it's not a song that I would really go out of my way to play separately either.
As far as the song itself goes, one of the positives is the concept of the song. I think the premise is great. "I just want your dirty love." It could be a killer electro-pop song, like Kiss N Tell. However, the execution isn't perfect. The melody of the song in the intro and the verses is actually quite great. Melodically, the chorus is strong, also.
As for the negatives, Kesha's vocals are bad on this song. I understand that it's supposed to be a "rough, care-free" rock type song, but Kesha doesn't have the perfect voice to pull it off. Where I said the chorus is good melodically, Kesha doesn't nail the melody vocally. In fact, the backing vocals during the bridge is far better than the front vocals in the chorus. Iggy Pop's feature is not only unnecessary but actually detracts from the song, as we know seeing as we have both the album version and the solo demo version. His inclusion was obviously only to appease Kesha as she idolises him, considering his verse, both lyrically and vocally, is utter trash.
Overall the song is a guilty pleasure bop that isn't quite as good as the demo version of the song which didn't make the album. It's in the second half of Warrior for me, but it's far from being one of Kesha's worst songs.

It got old really quickly and when Warrior came out we kinda released it was basic compared to Last Goodbye & Past Lives 
As well, as my "beef" with other animals 
I liked pears. Hopefully he comes back and chills a bit
