no. good album but not a classic. and yes it's very comparable to the blueprint.
The Fix is a great album but I have to say this...
It bothers me to some small degree when certain people are quick to call it his "best album". I feel a huge reason some do that is because it's his least "southern" album (Jay/Nas/Beans collaboes, Kanye production, etc.)
Not saying EVERY single person who believes The Fix is his best album has Eastcoast bias (I have it 3rd behind The Diary and Untouchable) but there's no way you can be a true Face fan and put it leaps and bounds ahead of his other classics.

Its definitely his most accessible album but keep in mind who chose the beats as the acting president of Def Jam South.
Also, think about how far he goes back with Nas, Jay, and Beans.
I don't recall anyone saying "leaps and bounds." That's your interpretation of the praise the album gets.
Ultimately, as someone like Nas who gets criticism on here for beat selection, Face chose his as well. Along with the features.
If that's your issue with the album, point your finger at Brad.

and here we are almost 14 years later still sounding great was def a start to finish type of album every track was fiya. Production was 

face was priceless
