RVA is nice at the album level as it adjusts the overall level from
album to album but keeps the relative volume of songs within the album
consistent with each other. This way quiet songs stay 'quieter' while
louder songs match those on other albums.
Important to those of us who listen to complete CDs as opposed to playlists.
