I actually started on BM US and it didn't exactly give me a bad impression of the series. If you really want to start with a good style try hunting down a copy of 9th in the market place, compared to the later styles the learning curve isn't as steep and there are still challenging songs on it too. Though if you really want to get better you should play different styles to get adjusted to other songs.
