Honestly, I am not sure there is anything you are missing....;) Argento is NOT for everyone. I always recommend that horror fan's see his films, but I never count on them liking them.
Let me explain; Argento is one of my favorite filmmakers. I love his work, even many of his not so great films. Tenebre is one of my favorite films. But you can't necessarily watch his films like you might watch other films. There are always plot holes, and problems with the stories, his endings are often weak. But these things....aren't important. And I realize that sounds....odd. But its true. Argento is very much a VISUAL experience, and the music is there to enhance what you are seeing on screen. to enhance HOW you are seeing the scene. The music can be overwhelming here, but trust me, it is there for a reason, as music is in any film, and it does work.
Tenebre, like Bub already mentioned, is actually a more coherent film for Argento, but at the same time you still have those problems with plot, and story, etc. Its the way the film is shot that makes it so great, the visual flair, the death scenes. No one does a death scene like Argento.
Hopefully, this will help you understand why I LOVE the movie. If not, please continue your "education" ;) when it comes to Italian horror, because there are some truly brilliant and interesting films to choose from.
