Still charmed by "Speak & Spell"

This morning I supplemented my breakfast with a DEPECHE MODE documentary.
"DO WE REALLY HAVE TO GIVE UP OUR DAY JOBS" is a look at the band's 1980-81 origins, their signing to Mute Records, the recording of their debut album "SPEAK & SPELL" and the departure of founding member VINCE CLARKE following their first United Kingdom tour.
It was illuminating and made me nostalgic enough to listen to "Speak & Spell" while driving around town.
I had forgotten how much I love that album.
PITCHFORK reviewed its reissue recently and rightly asserted that "Speak & Spell" "can you charm you giddy."
"New Life," "I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead," "Puppets," "Just Can't Get Enough" and the other songs bounce right out of the car speakers and into your head.
Depeche Mode eventually became slightly more serious, with much darker lyrical subject matter, but they never sounded so enthusiastically fresh.
