Galaxy is the tenth studio album by American band War. It was their first album released on MCA Records. The album was certified gold.
Reviewing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote: "The first side of the most unambitious album they've ever made works beautifully as what it is—P-Funk on thorazine, with the phrasemaking acuity of previous War records reduced to one title, 'Sweet Fighting Lady.' Side two winds down from a pretty good hit single into fourteen minutes of carrying unambitiousness way too far."[2]
All tracks written by War and Jerry Goldstein, with the exception of "The Seven Tin Soldiers" written by War
