Yes.  Known as digital overs.  Demanded by record companies, despised by 
mastering engineers, intended to make the record "loud enough for radio" -- 
and then an add'l +15dB.
The de facto level of most "pro" releases is "deafening", all compressed and 
hyper-normalized.  I hate that sound so very much.  Mind you, I haven't the 
courage to actually listen to "Vapor Trails" -- this is just a comment on 
modern mastering techniques.....
