ok saut.. sorry if i came off like an elitest asswhipe... i think i was having a bad day.. heh.
Anyhow,, all I can say is.. at some point.. MAYH will become your favorite disc if you give it the opportunity... it will not happen right away.. because as you say.. u just began listening to this type of music... just give the disc a chance .. listen to it... over and over.. look for the reasons.. because they are there.
And I still think that BWP is the best place to start.. it imo has some of the most 'catchy' songs that have both the clear vocals and the growls.. therefore a person gets a dose of both and can begin to appreciate opeth for what they are... Damnation is ok.. but it is not.. OPETH. if you get my meaning.
As for exposure.. of course it is good for the band... but the fan usually losses out in the end at some point. I turn everyone I know onto opeth .. so it is not as if I do not want them to make money.. heh.
Anyhow.. enjoy them anyway u see fit.. ; ]
