it's just sampled more, you're suppose to sample at twice the frequency you want to hear, in this case i guess 24kHz.

She was in a car accident and suffered a stroke.. she was this way for 27 years and some change (10,000 days) before dying or so the rumor goes. The song Judith by APC is also about her.

It's supposed to be about blind faith.. he was angry that his mother still believed blindly in christianity even after 'god did this to her' aka giving her a stroke... you can tell that a lot of his anger has turned into more of an objective stance at this point on this album

lol.. I read it in a interview somewhere:

"It's a real person named Judith. She doesn't know about it.
And she never will. Just because of the nature of the song and what I'm speaking
about, she won't know... because she won't listen."

also the idiots on this page:
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=3187

seem to have read the same thing, so who knows.. songs should be about what they mean to you anyway, at least that used to be the point of Tool before Maynard went nuts politically and started writing very opinionated lyrics. Ah well, it is his music.

i was gonna post what the idiots on songmeanings.net were saying, but they were coming up with Judith as a biblical character. also a bunch of other crap.

in other news, I've figured out all of 'the pot' on guitar.. adam really needs to learn how to play in other tunings besides drop D and perhaps investigate the other 4 strings on his guitar on this album :p

That sounds very interesting, if the song relates to his mom's situation. I find that in many of the songs, Maynard is essentially expressing his attitude about God directly to him - some songs more that others. But there are always little hints.

He used B/A tuning on Parabola. But I hear ya... on this new album, it seems the guitar work is more mainstream and raw...not as many sonic treasures as in Lateralus. Everytime I listen to The Patient, I hear something new. Oh well... the bass work on the new album still sounds so great that its sick. Maynard's word pictures are incredable too.
