It's too bombastic, too over the top, too ridiculous in each and every way conceivable - the ears of your average listening folk cannot stomach it. Hell, I cannot stomach it. The band only broke the top 5 like, once, and it comes as no surprise that it was with the most poppy, radio-friendly, UN-MUSEY song they've ever written: Supermassive Black Hole.
In the UK they've been getting heavy radio play since they released Muscle Museum. And that was released before they even had their first album out.

Ever since then every single they have released has been played to death.
