I used this method for some growing graphics and I think it can solve your problem alright.
1. Make your cubes.
2. Select the 4 vertices that form the top.
3. Create Clusters.
4. Keyframe the clusters

I think you have to put a noise function expression on each Custerīs Translate Y (at the Channel Box).
