You may have set the Songs list to be available offline which, as I understand it, would cause anything you save to Your Library / Your Music to be downloaded.
If you turn that option off, you can then decide on a per album basis what you want to download.
When I look at an album that I have saved, it is not set to be downloaded by default. Only the songs that I have marked to be downloaded (for example, from another playlist). Note that "Happy Holiday" is set to be downloaded but the rest of the album is not. Perhaps you have the album that you saved also set to be downloaded in another playlist?
I double checked to make sure this wasn't the case by saving random albums I know for sure didn't contain any songs in any of my playlists I have saved. When I would save one of these random albums every song would still be downloaded for offline listening. I don't think I have ever changed any settings either, so I am at a loss for what to do. Seeing as I just got Spotify I am trying to expand my library, but I don't want to download every single album and song I save to my music library.
