i have a tendency to slow down almost everything. but i dont do it for the purpose of seeing the trick better, i do it so the riding goes with the music. for instance on a tuck, i would cut it to where he would lift off the ground on one beat mess with the speed so the peak of his tuck was on another and then mess with the time again so there was a beat when he landed. watch this video to see what i mean:

I wouldnt say slow-mo is bad, you just have to make sure not to overuse it. There was quite a lot of slow-mo in that video... but i guess because of the style of the song ect it fits.

personaly I hardly ever use slow-mo anymore, I used to to it a lot to as you say fit with the music, but i found you don't need to have every trick/landing ect to the beat of the music.

anyway overall id say the slow-mo's in that video where okay but you could of done with a few less. the fades to black and the black flashes on the other hand where way overkill haha.
