Normalizing takes the single loudest sample and pushes it to the level of your choice (usually around 0 db). To make the whole track louder requires compression. These are VERY different things but in a nutshell: normalizing makes it all louder, while compression makes the peaks quieter so you can turn the whole thing up.
