I've noticed this a lot with downloading mp3s. Some are quiet, some are incredibly loud. It's strange.
My multi-disc CD player has a feature called ADLC. If you turn it on, it picks a certain volume level and plays every CD at that level, whether it's a super-quiet CD (like my Scotland Yard Gospel Choir CD) or one that sounds like it was recorded to blow speakers (the first Kid 606 album is like this, you really have to adjust the volume before you hit play or you're going to be blown across the room like that guy on the old Maxell tape commericals).
