foobar2000's ReplayGain misunderstood?

I've learned about a decade ago about the Normalize function, and i always thought there is no easy solution to 'level' an album.
Pretty recently, i heard about ReplayGain, and it sounded like a good solution.
So i finally figured out EXACTLY how to use this ReplayGain function on foobar2000, and i'm starting to fuss about where this is going.
When i scan per-file, the results show Track Gain as
-6.46 dB for the quietest song i can find,
-11.91 dB for the loudest song i can find, and
-7.98 dB for the actual song i would like it to be louder.
In my uneducated perception, the loudest song had the biggest number, 11.91, but obviously, it is negative and i don't understand why.
After applying the RG value to the tag, i didn't think it got any louder, so i disregarded it.
Long story short, i duplicated that -7.98 dB song and deliberately lowered the volume by 50%, about -6.02 dB, using GoldWave. I applied album gain on these duplicate songs, and the result is that even though they sound equally loud, they were not as loud as the loudest song i found. And when i say 'not as loud as', i mean the difference of mosquito flying noise and a shouting noise....
Maybe i didn't 'specify' an option hidden somewhere in the option menu, and the default value happens to be matching the songs to the quietest song in an album. I don't know any better because i didn't design ReplayGain.
If anybody can give me a solid explanation about this RG issue, i will really appreciate it.
Bottom line is, how can i apply album RG so that all of the songs in an album are as loud as the loudest song in that album, or all the songs in an album are as loudest as possible in general, which was my initial intention?
And yes, when i say 'as loudest as possible', i do not expect clipping, distortion, or any other audio nuisance. I just have a loud song that doesn't give me an earsore, and i just want to make few other songs to be loud like that. I hope nobody misunderstands my point.

Replaygain

By: Case

Alternative ReplayGain implementation with support for smarter automatic mode selection. Automatic mode selection doesn't rely solely on the active playback mode but also analyses the playlist contents. If the source track doesn't have ReplayGain data the component tries to scan the loudness during buffering. Includes optional custom compressor as one method to prevent clipping.
The component does not include ReplayGain scanner. The original ReplayGain scanner component is required for regular ReplayGain scanning and for the automatic loudness estimation to work.
When using this component the native ReplayGain needs to be manually disabled (processing set to none).

Current version: 0.2.6, released on 2021-03-27

Change log:

  • Opening configuration window reverted -14 LUFS target loudness to default because of incorrect range check. Replaced 'experimental' in the name with 'alternative'.
