Are slower movements better for building muscle?

What I mean by this is that I head that if I was using a heavier weight such as something that I can rep five times (and I'm using bench press as an example), will you build more muscle if you lower the weight slowly and really control it as opposed to just bustin out the reps like normal people do? If the answer is yes, is this true for all other exercises such as curling, squating, etc.? Thanks
