In one of the artciles it states that the average volume of many 2007 CDs is -3db. As 3db is a barely perceptible change in loudness, that means the difference between the peak level and the average level is just that - barely perceptible.
I remember Robert Fripp talking about Larks Tongues In Aspic Part 1, and how they had tried to maximise the difference between the long quiet intro and the main rock-out section for maximum impact. It paid off as the tracks is incredibly dynamic.
