First off, I have claimed my Internet again. Huzzah for that.
But the main reason I'm writing this is because I noticed something while looking through my audio submissions.
The Newgrounds Voice Acting Contest 10 wasn't the first one I entered into as a voice actor. I submitted a very last minute entry to last year's contest called Hoarder Cleaning. It had pitiful mixing, an improvised script with a lack in focus, subpar voice acting and acting in general, and many other things. Yet, I immediately noticed that this entry beats my "A Night To Remember" entry in terms of downloads, listens, and even overall score.
.............What? What? WHAT?
Seriously, I hope people don't find "Hoarder Cleaning" to be better than "A Night to Remember". XD That former one is a travesty. I linked both of them at the very bottom. I'm VERY interested in knowing which one you prefer and why. XD

Well downloads and listens are higher as the file has been available for a longer time - the same goes probably for the score too - though the difference is not that high to make a clear case which one is liked more. I like the newer one more though pretty much for the reasons you stated.

Yeah, I guess I would have been a lot more perplexed if the Hoarder Cleaning file was, let's say, a 4.75 out of 5 for score, and over 2,000 for views. Then, I would have to question some things even further. XD
