It's louder because the recording has been mixed to be that way. A lot of modern music is "brickwalled", which means that the volume of the tracks has been brought up to the point where the quietest parts of the song are at maximum volume before distortion sets in. The rest of the (louder, now distorted) dynamics are then compressed to bring them back to that peak.

It makes the song more easily heard in areas where there is a lot of ambient noise, and it's also intended to give the song a fuller sound, but it can cause listener fatigue and eliminates any dynamic changes throughout the piece.

Brickwalling is really just ungraceful mastering in the name of loudness. Radio stations have their own compressors anyway, so volume consistency between songs isn't an issue there like people think it is. I'd much rather have albums properly mastered and have the listener adjust the volume to their liking than have no choice but to have their ears blown out.

Thank you. Everybody who cares about music should care about this.
