Depends what kind of music you listen to.  The wiki mentions that
classical music is most susceptible to this.  Most music made since the
early '90s doesn't have enough dynamic range left to be affected.

Take a look at your RG values.  You'll find most of them are negative. 
Recent ones will be very strongly negative, -10 to -11 dB!  Applying RG
will take these much further away from the distortion/clipping point,
although some recordings are so bad they are clipped on the CD itself -
nothing you can do about those.

Become suspicious of this problem if the RG values are positive,
especially high values.
