Exactly! It is her darkest album to date. I like to think of Rated R as somewhat of a concept album, which I believe it sort of is - the concept being exploring the darkest depths of a person's soul.

You basically summed it up. Like I said, I wouldn't exactly consider Rated R to be "dark pop", but it was dark in comparison to her previous albums, and everything that was on the radio at the time.
