[SLUG] MP3 gain

I've got an album whose tracks are in mp3 format. The gain for these tracks
was set per track, so the gain for track x is different than the gain for
track y. While this isn't particularly annoying, it is in this case because
several tracks merge continuously into the next and it is rather annoying to
have the loudness change abrubtly in the middle of a song.

So, how can I renormalize these tracks as a set without re-encoding them?
I have "mp3gain", but I can't make it DTRT. Both "-a" and "-r" leave sudden
volume changes on some track transitions. Is it possible the original
encoding software modified the actual data? Would that affect mp3gain?
