 Critical response , much like the previous few Feeder albums , was mixed . BBC Music praised the album , while Drowned in Sound , despite negative reviews in the past , credited Feeder for creating another strong addition to their back catalogue . The album which was released to coincide with a week @-@ long tour , however improved upon the respectable commercial response of Renegades by charting at # 13 , which increased the band 's UK album charts span to fifteen years , while selling 7 @,@ 338 units in the same week . In Japan , Generation Freakshow improved upon the relatively disappointing chart position of Renegades , when it entered at # 57 and became their most successful studio album in almost four years . The only track from the sessions of the Renegades album to end up on Generation Freakshow , was that of " Tiny Minds " . The week following the album 's release , " Children of the Sun " was released as the album 's second single and saw the band revert to the vinyl and download formats . Because of this , the single failed to chart while not attracting the same radio attention as " Borders " . The title track was due to be a single , but was later pulled despite promotional CDs already being pressed and sent to radio . " Idaho " became the third single from the album , released on 27 August 2012 . Like " Children of the Sun " , this also failed to chart .
