Day Three of My New Life is the second full length album by the rock band Knapsack. It was released on February 25, 1997, on Alias Records, and re-released in 2014 on Poison City Records.

Critical reception

The A.V. Club called the album "the band’s crowning achievement." CMJ New Music Report called it "a noisy, post-punk bonfire." Vulture wrote that " songs were always a little too curiously shaped to break into the mainstream, but you can still hear the crossover potential in the sensitivity of their dynamics."
