actually, unless you are talking about mastering being especially high on a certain album, then it's not a loud album.
most of those albums were originally mixed and mastered for vinyl pressing which is much more quiet than cds.
so, "heavy" or "distorted" or "noisy" albums perhaps but not loud. with the right gear and the right processing, you can make erik satie or jandek sound 20 times louder than boris or dinosaur jr.
in fact, loveless which is regarded as the pinnacle of loud and crazy recordings, is, techniquewise, a very quiet record.
