I don't use iTunes, but instead I use a media player that supports ReplayGain, which calculates an average gain level for an entire album along with the gain level of each track. That way, when you listen to the whole album, the relative volume track to track is preserved. It seems like with all of the tagging tools in iTunes, it would be smart enough to recognize when it's using Sound Check on a single album, too.

Some tunes are quieter or louder on these albums for effect, so when they are all the same volume the sound actually becomes imbalanced... It's OK of all the tunes in a library are disconnected, separate songs, but not OK of they are _meant_ to join like they did on the CD. Cheers!
