The music is kinda meh

[Pepsu]

I dont know if is it just me or the music compared to Payday 2 is worse like not bad but mediocre. I dunno it feels kinda generic where in Payday 2 probably every track made me bump my head to the rythm.

let's hope we get better tracks for other heist and we can swap them in the menu, or just mod in the payday 2 ones

Main menu theme is pretty good reminds me of PD:TH but the bank heist theme sounds,
I cant find a proper word but I dunno. To funky? There is a lot of guitar riffs where in Payday 2 most of it was electronic or synth with few exeptions.
Also I forgot to mention for example when you hear Razormind you literally know its music from The heist themed movie or game without even reading the title or what its from. Or Evil eye which was from hotline miami DLC which sounds brutal because hotline Miami was violent game.

I suppose they're trying to imitate PD:TH more in terms of soundtrack, with less synths but more guitars, drums and such

Im not so sure really. PD:TH also had bunch of synth themes like Gun Metal Grey or Code Silver, only rock themed themes that i remember was Double Cross and The Take but it also had synth in the background and sounded great.

I tried it, and I'm sorry to say I don't find GTFO fun at all. It is a very different kind of game than Payday. We just want the good Viklund music or something on par with it, as it was a big part of the feeling of the game. The generic diet pepsi version of it we got in the beta does not compare.

All they have to do is to port old music from Payday 2 and 1 to Payday 3 and problem solved.

They might do that, but not too close to launch. Since Payday 2's soundtrack is so HUGE (if I remember correctly Simon's work ALONE was around 3 hours long), that just slapping it into the game could be seen as lazy and a dumb way of artificially extending the soundtrack. But there's also a problem, that is, the tracks would have to be modified for Payday 3's slightly changed music system (mainly it has stealth phases in all tracks, not just stealth-only ones), and while someone could probably make such changes, it would take a LONG time to do that, since again, Payday 2's soundtrack is HUGE.

Because god forbid Overkill from trying something new and different...
I for one welcome some change to the style, Payday 3 needs to build its own identity instead of leeching off Payday 2. You can always just play 2 and enjoy the old stuff.
And I agree with this completely:

Mmm... yeah, the track for No Rest For The Wicked was 6-7 out of 10 at best. Track used in original reveal trailer is a banger though.

[PsyWarVeteran]

Viklund was the best, but the new composer isn't bad either.

All tracks in Payday 2 have stealth sections. Loud songs have a single stealth section, in addition to all of the different parts of the loud track. Stealth songs have several stealth sections that can change depending on your progress in the heist, but no loud tracks.
