Bug is Dinosaur Jr's third album, which was released in October 1988 through SST Records. Although considered less consistent than Dinosaur Jr's previous effort, You're Living All Over Me, Bug is a strong album nonetheless and contains Freak Scene, often cited as one of the group's finest songs.

"...The songs on Bug are quite uneven, but it does represent a major step forward for Mascis, particularly on the masterpiece of the record, "Freak Scene," a surprisingly catchy song encapsulating the appeal and pitfalls of indie rock within three minutes." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine
