Isn't it true that not all tracks are normalized to 0db?

CDs that are not normalized are quite rare. It's a standard part of mastering a CD.

Note that they are usually normalized to 97 or 98 percent of 0db. For making two differently-produced albums sound like they're at the same volume, a few percent isn't going to make a difference. Detailed discussion here.
