For those who are interested, here are some further loudness measurements, based on EBU R128.

Spoiler: click to toggle

In most cases for CD tracks, integrated loudness (i.e., average loudness) should sit around -15.0 LUFS, true-peak should never exceed 0.0 TPFS, and loudness range should be no smaller than 6.0 LU. For a more coherent explanation, this article is worth perusing.

Edit #2: gleaning useful information from track-wide loudness measurements is tricky. Take For the Dancing and the Dreaming as an example: it has a loudness range of 24.0 LU, since the track comprises both quiet whistling and a lively jig. However, to suggest it therefore sounds better would be premature. If we were to measure the loudest segment of the track—Valka and Stoick's performance (from 2:10.000 to 3:00.000)—we'd get a more meaningful reading of 8.8 LU. Some more contrived examples follow.

So some tracks can get pretty bombastic (i.e., higher average loudness, lower loudness range) for a while. Whether they stay bombastic for too long is very much a matter of personal taste.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
