Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)
Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) (styled on the cover with quotation marks) is the seventh studio album by the American band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released in 1987. It features the most songwriting collaborations between Petty and lead guitarist Mike Campbell out of any Petty album. The Heartbreakers' approach when starting to work on the album in 1986 was to make it sound like a live recording. This technique was in marked contrast to the heavy studio production on the band's previous album, Southern Accents, and was influenced by touring as Bob Dylan's backing band. WIKIPEDIA

RollingStone
Let Me Up appropriately emphasizes immediacy over polish.

Medium
Dragged down by cliched ’80s production and uninspired songwriting, this simply isn’t a good album. It’s just tired. It’s a shame that the superb, dulcimer-driven “It’ll All Work Out” and the stomping “How Many More Days” are on such a weak album. Let me up. I’ve had enough.

Mark Prindle
It sounds like the band has no idea what they want to be!
-
ALL MUSIC
Filled with loose ends, song fragments, and unvarnished productions, it's a defiantly messy album.
-
Ultimate Classic Rock
a scattered record, with plenty of big ups and deep downs. But in the end, it's an album where the ups make the downs worth weathering.

Daily Vault
a muddled, at times apathetic album from a band that the world knew was capable of so much more.

People
is loaded wall-to-wall with good songs.
