Payday 3 - Pump and Dump (Fear & Greed Heist Track)

[@kmdost]

I'm not a fan personally. Like, it's just... alright? It just doesn't meet the standard of the previous three I would say. Combine that with the awful layering of the files and the fact that STEALTH 5 HAS 190 BPM WHEN ASSAULT HAS 178. yea it's just ok, nothing special.

[@lindaunderling4637]

I think the stealth part of this is really good

[@ashu608]

stealth 5 is where you have to run away so it suppose to be adrenaline inducing

[@marvinaguilar658]

Thats crazy i think this is one of the best so far in pd3

[@theuntitledgamingshow8519]

Yeah. I agree with you. It’s better than the one from Road Rage, but no where near as good as Boys in Blue and Diamond District.

[@sir_glyst768]

How it can't be special, when stealth gives more adrenaline than assault? Name other track with this trait

[@Protolighty]

listening to this track is like watching the development of payday 3 ITS SO OVER WE ARE SO BACK ITS SO OVER WE ARE SO BACK

[@remiliascarletmybeloved]

I like to think it fits into the stock market theme pretty well tbh

[@tik2243]

Payday 3 as a track lol

[@ShmigHigs]

honestly, i really like the chaotic nature of this heist track, especially on a heist such as this. makes me think of a bunch of stocks going crazy as the payday gang perform this hit on the actual stock market

[@Unionhawk73]

Now you must acquire a taste for freeform jazz

[@Tiyonchik]

Didn't like it at first, but after listening to if like 30 times it really grew on me, i'd say it's one of my favorite gustavo tracks ever

[@Spencer-ut7bn]

Mine’s is dark light strike

[@Tiyonchik]

@Spencer-ut7bn that one is fire too! Have it in my playlist since a while ago

[@Yeimagonk]

I think the reason the song is so all over the place is because it's supposed to represent how the stock market is constantly changing rapidly, and how unpredictable it is. One thing will be super profitable one second, then the next it completely crashes and a new one rises. Just realized Jlag69 thought of this before me, credit goes to him.

[@PunkyCATGamer07]

Byeah

[@Memperrona]

Peak fiction, Literally experimental on the thematic, that means, Gustavo put a fit nail on the thematic of the music, And the Stealths are pure gold for the ears

[@Lucios1995]

Don't have to credit someone if you also thought of it without influence

[@adamszollosi4334]

bro the control phase is so menacing🔥🔥🔥🔥 gustavo cooked hard🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@funnyman8107]

I think the only reason they made stealth 5 more intense than most tracks is cuz a search is triggered at the end and they wanted it to feel intense instead of just an ordinary search , that and it's supposed to capture how unpredictable the stock market is

[@funnyman8107]

Also the spawns on this map are fucking insane

[@redtheyiffer]

I like the transition from failing stealth and starting loud. It kinda sounds like the plan is falling apart and the crew has to pick it back up.

[@kapec2459]

I think it needs not ASSAULT extended, but STEALTH PHASE 5 extended Damn, that sax so good...

[@Rokkie_shorts]

9:39 HELP!!! GUSTAVO ACCIDENTALLY CREATED NO MERCY 2024

[@tik2243]

Love of Gustavo puts these little easter eggs into almost every track

[@TheUpcomingPayday]

Gustavo is master chef

[@damwab]

It just shows, this absolute legend is cooking and the fire emanating from this is absolutely heavy

[@CYB3Redux]

We got jazz, breakcore, rock, and edm in this one, i love it so much

[@ChainikVlad]

I don't think it's breakcore, feels like modern DnB to me.

[@CYB3Redux]

​@@ChainikVlad13:30 this is just a breakcore sample. plus the line between Breakcore and DnB is very arbitrary

[@ChainikVlad]

@@CYB3Redux I wouldn't call it arbitrary when you can tell a difference between someone like Sewerslvt and Noisia: breakcore can be more complex while DnB sound has more staple features. Plus Amen Break is used in practically anything, jungle, breakcore, DnB itself - you name it really.

[@leowooo]

Assault 2 with the DnB / Breakcore + Sax combo made me transcend.

[@lindaunderling4637]

Jojo fan likes sax. I feel you

[@violetisgaylmao]

This song is pure chaos and I love it for that

[@rodrigoromero4132]

He’s doing so perfect with the soundtrack of the game

[@Coffeeking.]

Honestly, I am SHOCKED that gustavo didn't incorporate more jazzy elements in the pd3 music bc we're supposed to be in the big apple! I really want a heist to have high pitch trumpets and trombones. It would really fit in with a heist centered around fighting the mob.

[@seboconnor8260]

This is the best one out of them all

[@HandyGuy420]

👍

[@Nyte_Myst]

This is wonderful background music, and it tells a story. What that story is will vary from person to person, but I love the development. I have no idea why people are upset with this, this is just good video game music. It’s not the Doom Soundtrack, but it’s good in its own right.

[@theblobconsumes4859]

This is one of my favorites in the game. As a lover of chaotic genre blends, I absolutely adore this. It feels like my brain put on blast; My love for all kinds of percussion meeting my love of brass, electronic instrumentation, bassy sounds and guitars.

[@Spooples]

Idc if people find this mid, that Control beat is hella fucking good

[@valyxon6279]

Assault 1 is such a banger as well

[@TelvanniGuard]

Kinda reminds me of Jigga What. It's a pretty good beat.

[@Qew1601]

Stealth Phase 3 so weird it is good

[@tik2243]

Anticipation Loop goes hard Of course it's super short lol

14:47 feels like the last part of Home Invasion 2016 from PayDay 2

[@gibbings5534]

I actually like this one alot, not as much as something like boys and blue or touch the sky but its still good

[@MarcusDkMystix]

yo "control" I have it on repeat over and over again that shit is fire

[@TheAndygan]

That sax though...

[@fry13.]

[@shinyrayquaza9]

one of my favorite payday 3 songs, goes hard

[@TheUpcomingPayday]

God this soundtrack makes me wanna

[@gruntskome366]

I think this is a track that's just okay when listened to but is amazing in the actual heist, I really enjoyed the instrument changes and switch ups while playing through it but it's just fine outside of it. Personally I still prefer it over Breakout but less than Boys in Blue or Syntax out of the DLC Heists

[@conerconner1685]

This is probably my favorite Payday 3 loud track. It's so messy and all over the place but it makes speeding that much more fun.

[@deger3639]

Is it just me or is the anticipation loop at 10:24 the same melody McConaughey does in The Wolf Of Wall Street "humming" scene, just sped up. If you put it at 0.75 speed its almost 1:1

[@shinyrayquaza9]

wouldn't be surprised

[@CrypticVex]

Control goes HARD on this one

[@SeeleUltra]

i am sorry but HELLO??? THE ASSAULT 1 HITS QUITE WELL??? i liked the guitar and sax and that cool beat at the end of assault 1 assault 2 beginning gave me too much of a cop chase in need for speed carbon vibe though it is underwhelming, some plays in it just kinda do right for me the control is JUICY, hands down stealth 3 and 4 have really funky pattern and im a special fan of 4, s5 feels like an assault for another heist, dead serious. stealth 1 and 2 almost felt like it would rather fit to literal syntax error im sorry but what the fuck my dude but its a pretty interesting mix i am not disappointed, just a bit... lost. It's like im listening to a few different heists in a row

[@godofbeans1]

Finally somebody else that likes the first assault.

[@GlitchBoy-ws5in]

I mean, It fits the Chaos of Stock Market TBH

[@TwitchFusionz13]

Pump and Dump 💀

[@royearle1673]

Yup. It's a certain type of fraud. Basically you inflate the value of stock you own through fraudulent means (which is where "pump" comes from) after which you sell them for a ridiculous markup (which is what "dump" means here).

[@NikolayHizenprof]

​@@royearle1673 so, what the gang is doing?

[@royearle1673]

@@NikolayHizenprof I'd say what the gang is doing is more akin to a short and distort. They're shortselling stock (i.e, selling stock that is going to decrease in value and buy the same amount of that stock back) and then fraudulently decreasing the value of that stock to ensure profit. Gonna add to this I am in no way an expert on the subject and had to look up a few exact definitions here and there. That being said, I enjoy the opportunity to learn a thing or two and forward it to someone else, even if said information is not at all useful. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. Edit: to clarify how a short and distort leads to profit: say you have 10 stocks worth 500 dollars each. You sell them knowing that their price will decrease due to your distortion. If the price then dips to, say, 100 dollars, and you buy exactly 10 stocks of the same type back, that means you now have the same amount of stocks as you did before as well as 4000 dollars from the difference in price from when you sold them and bought them back.

[@NikolayHizenprof]

@@royearle1673 well, you certainly know more than me

[@nacl1697]

i like the addition of an amen break in the second assault lol, as a breakcore fan

[@Super_Maxwell]

Really good ost, when i hear this soundtrack i dream about shops, malls and other places (let this places COOK)

[@Antumarin]

This is fucking chaotic. I love it

[@rendzu98]

i love reading the coments... how people interprets this soundtrack.. and yes I agree, I guess stealth is like you go on stock market in safer way, low risk, slow and steady ... and assault is when you go on stock market in a more bold, and risky, yet where's there a high risk there's a high return... which still means a possibility of chaos

[@splashlemon2966]

Thank you

[@dubtoshi]

why is stealth ost more exciting than loud ost wtf

[@Vinniemistr92-k7i]

Sounds good

[@Spokenword]

My favorite dlc track so far

[@rakesiar]

People say that this track sucks, I personally think it stands out when compared to the others. That is something I was missing.

[@kissmyass8613]

It's got the bass like the good old tracks from Simon

[@dnguyen-ey7xf]

Honestly while it's kind of underwhelming it works much better ingame, the changing in beats and bpm makes each moment in assault more unique imo (running to do objectives, shooting cops, refilling resources,...) since it's not just a few same beats played the entire assault phase like Ice Punch (Not saying that it's bad though, it slaps). It's not my jam because it feels like it isn't meant to be listened normally and instead be played during an intense shootout.

[@eurobtcwby]

Anyone who thinks this is mid has clearly not watched Cowboy Bebop.

[@superbsoap]

I’m glad I’m not the only who got major Cowboy Bebop vibes from this. The mix of Gustavo’s awesome electronic style with Bebop is something I never knew I needed

[@leowooo]

Exactly. I can understand that it's not a song for everyone, but if someone ends up saying it's "mid", it just shows that the person clearly doesn't understand music.

[@vladpodolskiy9318]

To be honest, trailer gave me more expectations in a plan of a music, starting of assault is awesome, continuing mid

[@jpvaz2280]

I didn't really like assault 1 but 2 is actually really good in my opinion

[@TheLeafgoogle]

idk what it is about the control intro, control, and anticipation leading to assault, but its got me feeling like flying to NY and crashing Wall Street.

It's probably the synths in control, makes me feel like I'm about to hear a bomb threat announcement or something.

This is what happens when you try too many things at once.

[@Cryptonium90]

@@dominousraptor1906True. The jazz randomly mixed up in the assault parts makes it somewhat chaotic.

[@splashlemon2966]

First impressions are interesting. Seems like Gustavo wanted to go for something weird here but i dont get what he was trying to get at? The instrumentals sound great but its the pacing of them thats all over the place. They just go places randomly. Decent track but def strange. For shure the weakest so far. Gustavo cooked but I think its a little underbaked this time

[@Jlag69]

I think he is trying to have the instrumentals kind of correlate to stocks b/c when the soundtrack gets random, I think he’s trying to relate it how stock prices sour and fall quickly. Idk I might just be yapping.

@@Jlag69 It's brilliant.

[@splashlemon2966]

@@Jlag69 Not a bad theory!

[@kmdost]

I mean, I can probably put it over Contra and Ruby Ruse because of the sax being a nice addition.

[@Jlag69]

@splashlemon2966 also, even though I haven’t played the heist, I think there is a second assault track to emphasize that the market is starting to crash, changing from a calm tone, to one with more seriousness and sporadic one, and the periodic craziness of the sax seeing little increases and decreases in the stock prices as they still continue to fall. Sorry for the tangent
